Question

A full wave rectifier circuit along with the input and output are shown in the figure. The contribution from the diode $1$ is are

• A. $C$
• B. $A,C$
• C. $B$ & $D$
• D. $A,B,C,D$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$A,C$

In the given full cycle, when the input voltage is positive, the diode $D_1$ is in forward bias, while it is in reverse bias for negative input.

Thus, the Diode contributes for the cycle components $A$ and $C$
