A full wave rectifier uses two diodes with a load resistance of `100 Omega`. Each diode is having negligible forward resistance. Find the efficiency of this wave rectifier.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Forward resistance of the diode `r_(f) = 0` ,
Load resistance, `R_(L) = 100 Omega , eta = ?`
efficiency of full wave rectifier
`= (0.812 xx 100)/(100) = 0.812`
The percentage efficiency of the full wave rectifier `= 81.2 %`.
