Chapter 4.5, Problem 4.19E

(a)

To determine

To prove: The half-cycles during which the diode conducts, conduction begins at an angle $\theta ={\sin }^{-1}\left(\frac{V_D}{V_s}\right)$ and terminates at $\pi -\theta$ for the total conduction angle of $\pi -2\theta$ .

(b)

To determine

To prove: The average value of the output voltage is $V_{\text{o}}\simeq \left(\frac{1}{\pi }\right)V_s-\frac{V_D}{2}$ .

(c)

To determine

To prove: That the peak diode current is $\frac{\left(V_s-V_D\right)}{R}$ .

(d)

To determine

The value of $\theta$ , conduction angle, average output voltage, peak current and the peak inverse voltage.
