The output current versus time curve of a rectifier is shown in the figure. The average value of output current in this case is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
From the waveform, it is clear that it rectifies the full wave.
The average value of the current, {I}_{avg} = \dfrac{2{I}_\max}{\pi}
⇒ {I}_{avg} = \dfrac{2{I}_\max}{\pi}
