An ideal half-wave rectifier gives output pulses of peak value 31.4 V. What is the average (DC) value of the output (Average = V₀/π)?
Correct answer C. 10.0 V
Explanation
For half-wave output the average value is V₀/π = 31.4/3.14 = 10.0 V. Using 2V₀/π, the full-wave formula, would wrongly give 20.0 V.
