Question

The peak voltage in the output of a half wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is $15V.$ The $dc$ component of the output voltage is:

• A. $15\sqrt{2}V$
• B. $\frac{15}{\pi }V$
• C. $15V$
• D. $\frac{30}{\pi }V$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{15}{\pi }V$

Output $dc$ component $=\left(\frac{\text{peak voltage}}{\pi }\right)$

$=\left(\frac{15}{\pi }\right)$
