Q. For a half wave or full wave rectifier the Peak Inverse Voltage of the rectifier is always

A

Greater than the input voltage

B

Smaller than the input voltage

C

Equal to the input voltage

D

Greater than the input voltage for full wave rectifier and smaller for the half wave rectifier

Solution:

The peak input voltage is smaller than the input voltage due to the presence of diode(s).
A single diode reduces the output voltage by approximately 0.7V.
the Peak Inverse Voltage of a rectifier depends on the type of rectifier used.
For a half wave rectifier, the PIV is smaller than the input voltage, while for a full wave rectifier, the PIV is greater than the input voltage.
