4.1 The brigde rectifiers, as shown in this figure below:

Has the value of Vm: 100 V with 60 Hz and a series RL load , with R: 10 ohm L: 10mH.
a. Determine the average current in the load
b. Estimate peak to peak variation in load current
c. Determine the power absorbed by the load and the power factorof the circuit
d. Determine the average and rms currents in the diode

Analysis:
a.

The current total average is 6.33 A.

But in the calculation we can get :

which is nearly same value.

b. For the peak to peak current, the value is the 6,799 A which is the same in the figure,
and same as in the book solution

2 x 3,39A = 6.78 A

c. power Absorbed and power factor is :

the power absorbed is 4,62

 And the power factor is 9,62

4.3 For the full wave bridge rectifier circuit of figure below

The Ac source is 120 V rms at 60 Hz, R= 2 ohm, L= 10 mH , and Vdc = 80 V

Determine the power absorbed by the DC voltage source and the power absorbed by the load
resistor.

Analysis:
To find the power absorbed, we have to find the I average and I rms

Io = 14,1 A

Irms = 15,9 A

And the power absorbed is

I2rms x R = (15,46)2 x (2) = 478 W
4.5 A full wave rectifier has a source of Vs(t) = 100sin(377t) V. An LC filter as in this figure
below is used,

with L= 5mH and C = 10.000 uF, determine the output voltage if

a. R= 5 ohm
b. 50 ohm

Analysis:
a. For 5 ohm
The average value of Io and Voutput is 14,2 A and 71 V
So for RMS value is

b. and for 50 ohm

 the Average value is

Io = 2,11 A
V = 105,7 V

And the RMS value is:

4.7 A controlled full wave bridge rectifier of figure below

Has a source of 120 V rms at 60 hz, R = 10 ohm, L = 20 mH and α = 60o
Determine
a. An expression for the load current
b. The average load current
c. The power absorbed by the load
Analysis:
a. For the load current expression is
b. The average load current is

Io = 8,821 A
But in the calculation we get the value of

c. And the power absorbed is

P= 967,4 W
While in the calculation we get
