Rectifiers

Question

In the circuit given below, V(t) is the sinusoidal voltage source. Voltage drop $V_{A B} (t)$ across the resistance ‘R’ is

Moderate

A

is half wave rectified
B

is full wave rectified
C

has the same peak value in positive and negative half cycles
D

has different peak values during positive and negative half cycle.

Solution

During +ve half cycle, only $D_{2}$ conducts & during -ve half cycle, only $D_{1}$ conducts.
Also, $R_{1} \neq R_{2}$
Hence, output has different peak values.
