A full wave rectifier circuit with diodes (D₁ ) and (D₂ ) is shown in the figure. If input supply voltage V_ in =220 (100 t) volt, then at t=15 msec

Options

  1. AD₁ is forward biased, D₂ is reverse biased
  2. BD₁ is reverse biased, D₂ is forward biased
  3. CD₁ and D₂ both are forward biased
  4. DD₁ and D₂ both are reverse biased

Correct answer

B. D₁ is reverse biased, D₂ is forward biased

Step-by-step solution

aligned & At t =15 msec & V _ in =220 (100 15 10⁻³ ) & =220 ( 3 2 )=-220 ~V aligned So diode D₁ is in reverse bias and D₂ is in forward bias
