Which of the following statements are true about the given circuit?(a) The circuit is that of a bridge rectifier(b) The PIV of the diode D1 must be greater than v0 for the circuit to function as a bridge rectifier(c) For silicon diodes, the value of v0=(vi-1.4) V(d) All of the mentionedThe question was asked in an international level competition.I want to ask this question from Diode Gates and Rectifiers in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (d) All of the mentioned

To explain: The circuit is that of a BRIDGE rectifier. For proper functioning, the PIV of diodes must be at least greater than v0 and SINCE, the CURRENT through any path flows through 2 diodes. There is a drop of 1.4 V.
