A full-wave rectifier provides a DC output voltage of 20 V . If the root mean square (RMS) value of the unwanted AC component is measured as 2 V , the ripple factor in percentage is
Options
- A2 %
- B5 %
- C10 %
- D20 %
Correct answer
C. 10 %
Step-by-step solution
Given the DC output voltage V_ dc = 20 V and the RMS value of the AC component V_ ac = 2 V . The ripple factor is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of the AC component to the DC component of the output voltage: = V_ ac V_ dc Substituting the given values: = 2 20 = 0.1 Expressing the ripple factor in percentage: = 0.1 100 % = 10 % Answer: 10 %
