An AC voltage source V = 10 sin(t) volts is applied to the following network. Assume that R1 = 3 kΩ, R2 = 6 kΩ, and R3 = 9 kΩ, and that the diode is ideal.
RMS current Irms (in mA) through the diode is ___
____.
V=13×3kΩ+16×6kΩ+13×9kΩ
V=5I
orVI=5kΩ
For half wave rectifier
Irms=Im(2)=10sint5kΩ=2sintmA
∴Irms=Im2=1mA
