Question: For the rectifier circuit above, ( v _ { i n } ) is a sinusoidal source with an amplitude of 1 2

For the rectifier circuit above, \( v_{i n}\) is a sinusoidal source with an amplitude of 127 V and a frequency of \(\mathbf{10 H z}\). NOTE the change in frequency, it is not 60 Hz . The transformer is an ideal 10:1 step down transformer. The diode is on when it has a forward voltage drop of 0.7 V across it.
a) If the capacitor is not present, what are the maximum and minimum voltages at the output, \( v_{\text {out }}\).
b) Choose a capacitance value such that the voltage at the output drops by \(5\%\) of the peak output voltage over the period of the input signal.
For the rectifier circuit above, \ ( v _ { i n }
