Question

Rectifier is a device which is used for converting alternating current or voltage into direct current or voltage. Its working is based on the fact that the resistance of p-n junction becomes low when forward biased and becomes high when reverse biased. A half-wave rectifier uses only a single diode while a full wave rectifier uses two diodes as shown in figures (a) and (b).
  1. If the rms value of sinusoidal input to a full wave rectifier is $\frac{\text{V}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$ then the rms value of the rectifier's output is:
  1. $\frac{\text{V}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
  2. $\frac{\text{V}_0^2}{\sqrt{2}}$
  3. $\frac{\text{V}_0^2}{2}$
  4. $\sqrt{2}\text{V}_0^2$
  1. In the diagram, the input ac is across the terminals A and C. The output across B and D is:
  1. Same as the input.
  2. Half wave rectified.
  3. Zero.
  4. Full wave rectified.
  1. A bridge rectifier is shown in figure. Alternating input is given across A and C. If output is taken across BD, then it is:
  1. Zero.
  2. Same as input.
  3. Half wave rectified.
  4. Full wave rectified.
  1. A p-n junction (D) shown in the figure can act as a rectifier. An alternating current source (V) is connected in the circuit. The current (I) in the resistor (R) can be shown by:

  1. With an ac input from 50Hz power line, the ripple frequency is:
  1. 50Hz in the de output of half wave as well as full wave rectifier.
  2. 100Hz in the de output of half wave as well as full wave rectifier.
  3. 50Hz in the de output of half wave and I 00Hz in de output of full wave rectifier.
  4. 100Hz in the de output of half wave and 50Hz in the de output of full wave rectifier.

Answer

  1. (a) $\frac{\text{V}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
Explanation:
Therms value of the output voltage at the load resistance, $\frac{\text{V}_0}{\sqrt{2}}.$
  1. (d) Full wave rectified.
  2. (a) Zero.
  3. (c)

Explanation:
The given circuit works as a half wave rectifier. In this circuit, we will get current through R when p-n junction is forward biased and no current when p-n junction is reverse biased. Thus the current (I) through resistor (R) will be shown in option (c).
  1. (c) 50Hz in the de output of half wave and I 00 Hz in de output of full wave rectifier.

Distance between two successive bright or dark fringes is called fringe width.
$\beta=\text{Y}_\text{n+1}-\text{Y}_\text{n}=\frac{(\text{n}+1)\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{n}\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}$
Fringe width is independent of the order of the maxima. If whole apparatus is immersed in liquid of refractive index $\mu$ then $\beta=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\mu\text{d}} \ ($fringe width decreases$)$. Angular fringe width $(\theta)$ is the angular separation between two consecutive maxima or minima
$\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}$

Why is it found experimentally difficult to detect neutrinos in nuclear $\beta$-decay?
In the year 1939, German scientist Otto Hahn and Strassmann discovered that when an uranium isotope was bombarded with a neutron, it breaks into two intermediate mass fragments. It was observed that, the sum of the masses of new fragments formed were less than the mass of the original nuclei. This difference in the mass appeared as the energy released in the process. Thus, the phenomenon of splitting of a heavy nucleus (usually A > 230) into two or more lighter nuclei by the bombardment of proton, neutron $\alpha$-particle, etc. with liberation of energy is called nuclear fission.

The $emf$ induced across the ends of a conductor due to its motion in a magnetic field is called motional $emf.$ It is produced due to the magnetic Lorentz force acting on the free electrons of the conductor.
