Question

In a full-wave rectifier using two ideal diodes, $V_{d i}$ and $V_{i d}$ are the $d c$ and peak values of the voltage respectively across a resistive load. If PIV is the peak inverse voltage of the diode, then the appropriate relationships for this rectifier are

• A. $\mathrm{V}_{\text {dc }}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{m}}{\pi}, \mathrm{PIV}=2 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{dc}}$
• B. $\mathrm{V}_{d \mathrm{dc}}=2 \frac{\mathrm{V}_{\text {m }}}{\pi}, \mathrm{PIV}=2 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{dc}}$
• C. $\mathrm{V}_{dc}=2 \frac{\mathrm{V}_{m}}{\pi}, \mathrm{PIV}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{dc}}$
• D. $\mathrm{V}_{\text {dc}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\pi}, \mathrm{PIV}=\mathrm{V}_{\text {dc}}$
