Brief Questions
Problem 1
An 18V (rms), 50 Hz supply is rectified using a full bridge diode rectifier
and is followed by a capacitor filter. The load connected across the
capacitor is a simple resistor of 30 ohm. What should be the value of
filter capacitor to get only 5 volts peak to peak ripple across the load
voltage? Neglect voltage drop across conducting diode.
Problem 2
It is desired to get a regulated 15 volts supply from the utility ac voltage of 50
Hz using a linear regulator circuit. The input ac voltage (rms magnitude)
varies from 190 volts to 260volts. The utility voltage is first stepped down
using a transformer. The stepped down voltage is rectified using a diode bridge
and filtered by placing a capacitor after the rectified output. Assuming peak-
to-peak ripple in the capacitor voltage to be 10% of the capacitor’s crest
voltage, find the turns ratio of the step down transformer. For proper operation
of the linear regulator circuit the input voltage applied to it must always be 2
volts more than the desired output voltage (neglect diode drops).
Problem 3
Estimate and compare the size (window area X core area) of the following
two transformers: (i) a 50 VA, 50Hz, 15V low frequency transformer and
(ii) a 50 VA, 100 kHz, 15V high frequency transformer. Assume sinusoidal
voltages. Assume the peak flux density in low frequency transformer to be
1.5 tesla and in high frequency transformer to be 0.3 tesla. Take identical
values for window utilization factor and copper current density.
Problem 4
Question 1

For a given input voltage, what output voltages can we get in


principle, using only basic inductor-based topologies (buck, boost,
and buck-boost)?
Question 2
What is the difference between a topology and a configuration?
Question 3
Why are inverting dc-dc converters rarely used?
Question 4
Why is it commonly stated that in a flyback transformer, the "air
gap carries most of the stored magnetic energy"?
Question 5
If air carries most of the stored energy, why do we even need the ferrite?
