The output current versus time curve of a rectifier is shown in the figure. The average value of output current in this case is

  1. A 0
  2. B I02
  3. C 2I0π
  4. D I0
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2I0π

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the waveform, it is clear that it rectifies the full wave. The average value of the current, Iavg=2Imaxπ ⇒Iavg=2Imaxπ
