Extracted text: 1. Calculate the theoretical output DC voltage of the half-wave rectifier circuit and compare it with measured value. For the capacitive filter, obtain the theoretical values of the DC output voltage and the ripple voltage and compare these values with the measured quantities. Determine also the practical and theoretical values of the ripple factor. 2. Calculate the theoretical output DC voltage of the center-tapped full-wave rectifier circuit and compare it with measured value. For the capacitive filter, obtain the theoretical values of the DC output voltage and the ripple voltage and compare these values with the measured quantities. Determine also the practical and theoretical values of the ripple factor. 3. Repeat the calculations for the full-wave bridge rectifier and filter circuit. 4. Determine the peak inverse voltage (PIV) on each diode in the three rectifier circuits. 5. If diode D4 in the bridge rectifier circuit of Figure 5 was removed or burned, explain the operation of the circuit in this case and sketch the predicted waveform of the output. 6. Explain the effect of increasing the filter capacitance on the output voltage in the half- wave rectifier and filter circuit. 7. Compare the DC output voltages of the three rectifier circuits. Which circuit has the highest output? On the other hand, which circuit has the lowest peak inverse voltage on each diode? 8. What value of filter capacitor is required to produce 1% ripple factor for a full- wave rectifier having a load resistance of 1.5kO? Assume that the peak value of the output voltage is 18V.
