Question

A silicon diode has a threshold voltage of 0.7 V. If an input voltage given by 2 sin (π t) is supplied to a half wave rectifier circuit using this diode, the rectified output has a peak value of (A) 2 V (B) 1.4 V (C) 1.3 V (D) 0.7 V

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Peak value of rectified output voltage = peak value of input voltage - barrier voltage =2-0.7=1.3 V

Q. A silicon diode has a threshold voltage of $0.7 V$ . If an input voltage given by $2 sin (π t)$ is supplied to a half wave rectifier circuit using this diode, the rectified output has a peak value of

$2 V$

$1.4 V$

$1.3 V$

$0.7 V$

Peak value of rectified output voltage
= peak value of input voltage - barrier voltage
$= 2 - 0.7 = 1.3 V$
