Rectifiers & Filters
Statement - I:
To get a steady dc output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect a capacitor across the output parallel to the load RL.
Statement - II:
To get a steady dc output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect an inductor in series with RL.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Show answer and solution
Answer: (d)
- Statement I: a capacitor in parallel with charges at the peaks and supplies the load between them, so it smooths the output. True.
- Statement II: an inductor in series with opposes changes in current, so it also smooths the output. True.
- So the answer is (d) both statements are true.
