Answer:

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage = 2V

Explanation:

120V and 60 Hz is the input of an unfiltered full-wave rectifier

Peak value of output voltage = 15V

load connected = 1.0kV

dc output voltage = 14V

dc value of the output voltage of capacitor-input filter

where

V(dc value of output voltage) represent V₀

V(peak value of output voltage) represent V₁

V₀ = 1 - ( $\frac{1}{2fRC}$ )V₁

make C the subject of formula

V₀/V₁ = 1 - (1 / 2fRC)

1 / 2fRC = 1 - (v₀/V₁)

C = 2fR ((1 - (v₀/V₁))⁻¹

Substitute for,

f = 240Hz , R = 1.0Ω, V₀ = 14V , V₁ = 15V

C = 2 * 240 * 1 (( 1 - (14/15))⁻¹

C = 62.2μf

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage

= (1 / fRC)V₁

= 1 / ( (120 * 1 * 62.2) )15V

= 2V

The peak-to-peak ripple voltage = 2V
