Question:

If the rms value of sinusoidal input to a full wave rectifier is $\frac{V_0} { \sqrt{2}}$ then the rms value of the rectifier?s output is

Updated On: Jun 8, 2024
  • $\frac {V_0} { \sqrt{2}}$
  • $\frac {V_0^2 }{ \sqrt{2}}$
  • $\frac{V_0^2} { 2}$
  • $ \sqrt{2} V_0^2$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given,
Input $V_{ rms }=\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$
Where, $V_{0}=$ Peak value of voltage
In full wave rectifier, the whole cycle is rectified, so the value of input voltage will be same as output.



So, the output voltage will be $\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}$,

Semiconductors

Semiconductors are a crystalline solid materials, whose electrical conductivity lies between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors are mainly used in the manufacturing of electronic devices like capacitors, transistors, diodes, Integrated circuits, etc.

Properties of Semiconductor:

  1. Semiconductor acts like an insulator at Zero Kelvin. On increasing the temperature, it works as a conductor.
  2. Due to their exceptional electrical properties, semiconductors can be modified by doping to make semiconductor devices suitable for energy conversion, switches, and amplifiers.
  3. Lesser power losses.

Uses of Semiconductor:

  1. Semiconductors are widely used in manufacturing electronics devices like transistors, diodes, sensors, integrated circuits.
  2. Semiconductors are widely used in all electronic devices, like mobile phones, digital cameras, communication devices, trains, ATMs, etc.
