Question

(a) Explain the working of a full-wave rectifier using centre-tapped transformer. What is the PIV of this rectifier?

(b) A half-wave rectifier uses a diode with an equivalent forward resistance of $0.3 \ \Omega$. If the input ac voltage is $10 \text{ V(rms)}$ and the load is a resistance of $2.0 \ \Omega$, calculate $I_{dc}$ and $I_{rms}$ in the load.
