a half wave rectifier circuit with a 1K ohm load operates from a 120V rms 60-Hz household supply through a 10-to-1 step down transformer. It uses a silicon diode that can be modeled to have a 0.7V drop for any current. Augment this rectifier circuit with a capacitor chosen to provide a peak-to-peak ripple voltage of (i) 10% of the peak output and (ii) 1% of the peak output in each case:
A. What average output voltage results?
B. What fraction of the cycle does the diode conduct?
C. What is the average diode current?
D. What is the peak diode current?
