Question: A controlled half - wave rectifier has an R - L load as shown in Fig. P 1 . 1 . A freewheeling diode is

A controlled half-wave rectifier has an R-L load as shown in Fig. P1.1. A freewheeling diode is placed in parallel with the load. The inductance is large enough to maintain ripple-free load current. The source is
120 V (rms) at 60 Hz and the delay angle is 50.
(a) The load resistance R=20.
(i) Determine the average load current.
(ii) Determine the rms load current.
(b)(i) Determine the power absorbed by the resistor
(ii) Determine input power in volt-amperes.
(iii)Determine the power factor.
(c) Carefully sketch and label (with values) the steady-state waveforms vL(t) and vT1(t) on the same graph.
(d) Carefully sketch and label (with values) the steady-state waveforms iT1(t) and iD1(t) on the same graph.
