What is the average dc level at the output of a silicon rectifier with Vm=20V? (3 decimal places)

A diode is referred to as _ when it is used in rectification.

When a diode is _, it behaves like an open circuit.

In a full-wave rectifier, at t=0 to T/2, what diodes are 'on'?

• D1

• D2

• D4

• D3

Vm must be _ compared to the peak reverse voltage to ensure that the diode does not enter the zener region.

• less than

• more than

• equal
