A single-phase, full-wave rectifier uses semiconductor diodes. The transformer voltage is 35 Vrms, with center tap. The load consists of a 40 mF capacitor in parallel with a 250 W resistor. The diode and transformer resistances and the leakage reactance can be neglected. Assume that the frequency of the power line at the receptacle is 50 Hz.

Compute:

(a) The direct current Idc in the circuit.
(b) Peak-to-peak amplitude of the ripple voltage, Vr.
(c) The rms value of the ripple voltage, V¢ap_rms.
(d) Ripple factor of the output of the rectifying filter, r.
(e) Repeat parts (a), (b), (c), and (d) for the case where the load consists of a 100-mF capacitor in parallel with
a resistor of 250 W.
(f) Repeat parts (a), (b), (c), and (d) for the case where the load consists of a 40-mF capacitor in parallel with a
2000 W resistor.
(g) Compare the regulation percentage of the power supply for the Idc values ??of parts (e) and (f).
