What is the dc component of the output voltage if a sinusoidal signal of 33 V peak voltage is the input of a half wave diode rectifier circuit?

  1. A 3.5 V
  2. B 12.5 V
  3. C 10.5 V
  4. D 2.9 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 10.5 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a half-wave rectifier, the output voltage is a rectified sine wave. The dc component or the average value of the output voltage \(V_{dc}\) is given by the formula \(V_{dc} = \dfrac{V_m}{\pi}\), where \(V_m\) is the peak voltage of the input sinusoidal signal. Given…
