• Consider the following circuit and answer to the questions (1-4). The
switch condition is also shown in below.

1) Calculate the voltage across the transformer core (Lm) when switch is ON.
Also, clarify the condition of diodes (D, D1, D2) when switch is ON.
2) Assuming T as the switching period, calculate the duty cycle to have 𝑉!"# =
$!
.
%
3) Considering the calculated duty cycle in (2), compute the inductor value (L)
to ensure 5 % ripple for the inductor (L) current.
4) Calculate the minimum value of 𝑉& to cancel out the transformer flux during
one period (resetting the transformer core current during one period).
