stion 3:
A half-wave rectifier with a capacitor filter has Vm = 200 V, R = 1kw, C = 1000 pF, and
w = 377
(a) Determine the ratio of the RC time constant to the period ofthe input sine wave.
What is the significance of this ratio? (b) Determine thepeak-to-peak ripple voltage
using the exact equations. (c) Determine the ripple using theapproximate formula in Eq.
(3-51).
