The correct Answer is:
To find the efficiency of a full wave p-n junction diode rectifier, we can use the following formula: \[ \text{Efficiency} (\eta) = 0.812 \times \frac{R_L}{R_L + R_F} \] Where: - \( R_L \) is the load resistance. - \( R_F \) is the internal resistance of the diode. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the values given in the problem:** - Load resistance, \( R_L = 1300 \, \Omega \) - Internal resistance of each diode, \( R_F = 9 \, \Omega \) 2. **Substitute the values into the efficiency formula:** \[ \eta = 0.812 \times \frac{1300}{1300 + 9} \] 3. **Calculate the denominator:** \[ R_L + R_F = 1300 + 9 = 1309 \, \Omega \] 4. **Now substitute back into the equation:** \[ \eta = 0.812 \times \frac{1300}{1309} \] 5. **Calculate the fraction:** \[ \frac{1300}{1309} \approx 0.993 \] 6. **Now calculate the efficiency:** \[ \eta = 0.812 \times 0.993 \approx 0.806 \] 7. **Convert the efficiency to percentage:** \[ \eta \times 100 = 0.806 \times 100 \approx 80.6\% \] ### Final Result: The efficiency of the full wave rectifier is approximately **80.6%**.
