Question: A voltage waveform vi = 5 sin ( 2 0 0 t ) V is fed into a Full - wave rectifier with a load

A voltage waveform vi =5sin(200t) V is fed into a Full-wave rectifier with a load resistor, R =5 k. Silicon diodes are used in this circuit where, VD0=0.6 V.
(a)Draw the rectifier circuit. Label the input and output voltages properly. Briefly explain the application of the circuit.
(b)Calculate the DC value of the output voltage, Vdc and the output frequency fo.
(c)Draw the Voltage Transfer Characteristics (VTC) of the Full-wave rectifier and label it properly.
(d) Now, you have to connect a capacitor in parallel with the load resistor. You have two capacitors of 5F and 1F at your disposal. Which capacitor will you use? Explain briefly with necessary calculations.
(e) A different input waveform is fed into the Full-wave rectifier. The new peak-to-peak ripple voltage is 50% of the previous one calculated from '(d)' with the 5F capacitor. The new output frequency is 300 Hz. Determine the equation of the input waveform.
