Hi there,
I'd appreciate if you could check my answer. I only require a simple "right" or "wrong". Thanks.
I need to determine the ripple peak to peak voltage and the average voltage for this transformer, that has a 100 ohm load connected. Voltages supplied are RMS values.
Here's what I've done:
Time constant on capacitor: CR= (100 x 10^-6) x 100 = 10ms
Since RMS voltages are supplied, 12 * (2^0.5) = ~17V
Plotting the output of the circuit (and the capacitor discharge curve), I determined that the average voltage was about 14.5V (~12V minimum to 17V), with a ripple of 5 V.
Is this correct?
Thanks.
