• Amplification

Which component is used as a switch in a half-wave uncontrolled rectifier?

• Diode

• Transistor

• Resistor

• Capacitor

What type of load is used in a half-wave rectifier?

• FWD load

• Capacitive load

• Resistive load

• All of the above

What happens during the positive half cycle in a half-wave uncontrolled rectifier?

• No current flows

• Voltage is zero

• Diode conducts current

• Diode is reverse biased

What is the average output voltage formula for a half-wave uncontrolled rectifier with R load?

• V_avg = V_m + π

• V_avg = V_m * π

• V_avg = V_m - π

• V_avg = V_m / π

What is the effect of an inductive load on a rectifier?

• Increases output voltage

• No effect

• Increases current flow

• Decreases output voltage

What is a freewheeling diode used for?

• To increase voltage

• To prevent negative voltage

• To convert AC to DC

• To store energy

What is the average output current formula for a half-wave uncontrolled rectifier with R load?

• I_avg = V_m * R

• I_avg = V_avg + R

• I_avg = V_avg / R

• I_avg = V_m - R
