The figure shows a half-wave rectifier circuit with input voltage V(t) = 10 sin (100 π t) volts. Assuming ideal diode characteristics with zero forward voltage drop and zero reverse current, the average power consumed in watts by the load resistance R_{L} is __________.

Correct Answer

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Concept: The RMS value of a half-wave rectifier is: I_{r m s} = \frac{I _{m}}{2} Calculation: The RMS current of a half-wave rectifier is calculated as: I_{RMS} = \frac{V _{m}}{2 R _{L}} I_{RMS} = \frac{10}{2 \times 100} = \frac{1}{20} The average power consumed in watts by the load resistance R_{L} will be: P_{L} = I²_{RMS} \times R_{L} P_{L} = 100/400 = 0.25 W
