If the peak voltage on a centre tapped full wave rectifier circuit is5V and diode cut in voltage is 0.7. The peak inverse voltage on diode is_________(a) 4.3V(b) 9.3V(c) 5.7V(d) 10.7VI have been asked this question in an online quiz.Question is taken from Full-wave Rectifier in chapter Application of Diodes of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) 9.3V

The explanation: PIV is the maximum REVERSE bias VOLTAGE that can be appeared ACROSS a DIODE in the given circuit, if PIV rating is less than this value of breakdown of diode will occur. For a RECTIFIER, PIV=2Vm-Vd = 10-0.7 = 9.3V.
