Time Constant Calculation in RC Circuit Quiz

The diode switches to the conducting state near the peak value of the sinusoidal voltage, near ____.

The ripple of the output voltage can be determined by the ______ used.

The output voltage is determined by the ____ and the load resistance.

The capacitor size required to ensure a maximum allowed output voltage ripple equal to 10% of the input voltage peak is ____.

The output voltage after rectification is called _____ and its ripple is determined by the filtering.

The value of the load current is _____.

Single-phase half-wave diode rectifiers are ____ rectifiers.

The energy circuit behaves identically regardless of whether the series-connected inductance is connected on the source side or the ___ side.

Since the power grid is usually ____ (transformer), even purely working loads generally have a series connection with an inductive choke.

This phenomenon is therefore difficult to avoid, making it difficult to determine the exact value of the output ___.

The problem of negative voltage can be solved by connecting an anti-parallel diode to the load (parallel or ___).

Single-phase half-wave diode rectifiers are rectifiers with a ____ filter.

The time constant of capacitor discharge in a series RC circuit must be large compared to the period of the input voltage because ____ and ____ are important factors in analyzing the operation of the circuits.

With such a large time constant, during discharge, the voltage across the capacitor slowly drops to point y which is below the current value of the source voltage, and then the capacitor begins to charge rapidly up to point x. This is a ____ rectifier.

The effectiveness of a capacitive filter is determined by the fluctuation, or ripple of the output voltage, which can be determined as the difference between the maximum and minimum output voltage. Ripple can be determined for a large enough capacitor because the maximum output voltage is actually the peak value of the ____ voltage.

The minimum voltage value occurs at time = 2 + and can be calculated from the standard sinusoid equation = ⋅ sin. This gives: ΔU = ____ ⋅ sin( ).

The voltage ripple of the capacitive filter can be determined by the formula: ripple = 1 − sin( ). If the capacitor value is very large, the RC constant is ____.

The effectiveness of the ____ is determined by the fluctuation, or ripple of the output voltage.
