Question

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

What is the contribution to output voltage from diode 2, 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 $D_2$.
