Question
n a bridge type full wave rectifier with center tapped , if Vm is the peak voltage across the secondary of the transformer, the maximum voltage coming across each reverse biased diode is a. *Vm2 VmVm/2√(Vm)
Solution
In a bridge type full wave rectifier with center tapped, if Vm is the peak voltage across the secondary of the transformer, the maximum voltage coming across each reverse biased diode is Vm.
Here's why:
In a full wave rectifier, the current flows through two diodes during each half cycle. In the positive half cycle, one diode is forward biased while the other is reverse biased, and vice versa in the negative half cycle.
The peak voltage across the secondary of the transformer is Vm. This is the maximum voltage that can be applied to the load.
When a diode is reverse biased, it does not conduct current. Therefore, the maximum voltage across a reverse biased diode is the peak voltage Vm.
So, the correct answer is Vm.
