If peak voltage on a center tapped full wave rectifier circuit is 5V and diode cut-in voltage is 0.7, then peak inverse voltage on diode will be ___________(a) 4.3 V(b) 10 V(c) 5.7 V(d) 9.3 VI have been asked this question in my homework.I'd like to ask this question from Fullwave Rectifier topic in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The correct option is (b) 10 V

For explanation: PIV is the maximum reveres bias VOLTAGE that can be appeared across a diode in the circuit. If PIV rating of the diode is less than this value breakdown of diode may OCCUR. For a center tapped FULL wave rectifier, PIV of diode is 2Vm. Therefore, PIV is 10 V.
