A full wave center-tapped transformer rectifier in a power


a full wave center-tapped transformer rectifier in a power supply provides an average dc output voltage of 14 v on which a maximumripple of +,-0.5 volt is allowed.Diodes have a 0.7 volt drop when conducting. Assuming a resistive load of 120 ohm, a line voltage of120 v rms@ 60Hz through a transformer,
a) Sketch the circuit diagram for the rectifier
b) what is the rms voltage across the transformer secondary?
c) Determine the size of filter capacitor required.
d) Assuming 50% safety maegin, what diode PIV rating isappropriate?
