In Half-wave uncontrolled rectifier calculate the power dissipation across the 8 Ω resistor if the supply is 29sin(22t).(a) 26.2 W(b) 24.2 W(c) 26.1 W(d) 29.1 WThis question was posed to me during an online interview.My doubt is from Solid-State Switching Circuits topic in section Introduction to Solid-State Switching Circuits of Electric Drives

Answer»

Correct OPTION is (a) 26.2 W

Easiest explanation: In HALF-wave uncontrolled rectifier, the r.m.s value of the VOLTAGE is Vm÷2=29÷2=14.5 V. The diode will conduct only for the positive half cycle. Power dissipation ACROSS the RESISTOR is V^2r.m.s÷R=14.5^2÷8=26.2 W.
