A p-n diode is used in a half wave rectifier with a load resistance of 1000Omega . If the forward resistance (r_f) of diode is 10 Omega , calculate the efficiency of this half wave rectifier.

Answer»

SOLUTION :LOAD resistance `R_L= 1000 Omega `,
Forward resistance of the diode `= r_f= 10 Omega `.
Efficiency of half wave rectifier
`[( 0.406 R_L)/( r_f+R_L)]= ( 0.406 XX 1000)/( 1010) = 0.4019.`
The percentage efficiency of the half wave rectifier `eta ` = 40.19%
