A full wave rectifier circuit with diodes \(\left(D_1\right)\) and \(\left(D_2\right)\) is shown in the figure. If input supply voltage \(V_{\text {in }}=220 \sin (100 \pi t)\) volt, then what happens at \(t=15\text{msec}\)?

  1. A \(D_1\) is forward biased, \(D_2\) is reverse biased
  2. B \(D_1\) is reverse biased, \(D_2\) is forward biased
  3. C \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) both are forward biased
  4. D \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) both are reverse biased
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(D_1\) is reverse biased, \(D_2\) is forward biased

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text {At } t =15 msec\)
\(V _{\text {in }}=220 \sin \left(100 \pi \times 15 \times 10^{-3}\right)\)
\(=220 \sin \left(\frac{3 \pi}{2}\right)=-220 V\)
Image
So diode \(D_1\) is in reverse bias and \(D_2\) is in forward bias
