A half wave rectifier, operated from a 50Hz supply uses a 1000µF capacitance connected in parallel to the load of rectifier. What will be the minimum value of load resistance that can beconnected across the capacitor if the ripple% not exceeds 5?(a) 114.87Ω(b) 167.98Ω(c) 115.47Ω(d) 451.35ΩI had been asked this question in an interview for internship.This interesting question is from Capacitor Filters in portion Application of Diodes of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (C) 115.47Ω

Easy explanation: For a HALF WAVE filter,

ϒ=1/2√3 fCRL=1/2√3*50*10^-3*RL

RL=10^3/5√3=115.47Ω.
