Q. The peak voltage in the output of a half-wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without filter is $10\ V$. The dc compound of the output voltage is
A) $10/\sqrt{2}\ V$
B) $10/\pi\ V$
C) $10\ V$
D) $20/\pi\ V$
Explanation
(b) In half wave rectifier $V_{dc} = \frac{V_{0}}{\pi} = \frac{10}{\pi}$
