Question: a. Explain how zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator. b. Explain with neat diagram and waveform working of the half wave rectifier

a.  Explain how zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator.
b.  Explain with neat diagram and waveform working of the half wave rectifier and also derive an expression for the efficiency and ripple factor

c.  In a full-wave rectifier, the input is from 30-0-30 V transformer. The load and diodeforward resistance are 100 Ω and 10 Ω respectively. Calculate the average load current,average load voltage and rectifier efficiency.
