Question

Suppose you wanted to convert an AC voltage to DC. Your AC voltage source has Vrms= 60V. If you use a full wave rectifier directly on the line voltage with Vf = 0.7V, what will be your output DC voltage in Volts (assuming a negligible ripple)?

Answer 1

Answer:

$V_{dc}=84.15\ V$

Explanation:

Given that

Vrms= 60 V

Vf= 0.7 V

We know that peak value of AC voltage given as

$V_{o}=\sqrt{2}\ V_{rms}$

Now by putting the values

$V_{o}=60\sqrt{2}\ V$

The output voltage of the DC current given as

$V_{dc}=V_{o}-V_f$

$V_{dc}=60\sqrt{2}-0.7\ V$

$V_{dc}=84.15\ V$

Therefore output voltage of the DC current is 84.15 V.
