If peak voltage for a half wave rectifier circuit is 5V and diode cut in voltage is 0.7, then peak inverse voltage on diode will be?(a) 5V(b) 4.9V(c) 4.3V(d) 6.7VI had been asked this question in an interview for internship.I need to ask this question from Half-Wave Rectifier in chapter Application of Diodes of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct option is (c) 4.3V

For explanation: PIV is the MAXIMUM reverse bias voltage that can be appeared across a DIODE in the given CIRCUIT, If the PIV rating is less than this VALUE of breakdown of diode will OCCUR. For a rectifier, PIV=Vm-Vd=5-0.7=4.3V.
