Question

A full wave rectifier circuit along with the input and output voltages is shown in the figure

The contribution to output voltage from diode 2 is if in first half cycle diode 1 is in forward biased condition.

• A. A, C
• B. B, D
• C. B, C
• D. A, D

Answer 1

The correct option is B B, D

In the positive half cycle of input ac signal diode $D_1$ is forward biased and $D_2$ is reverse biased so in the output voltage signal, A and C are due to $D_1$. In negative half cycle of Input ac signal $D_2$ conducts, hence output signals B and D are due to $D_2$.
