Question 9 of 10
Which factor indicates the purity of the DC output of a rectifier?
The ripple factor indicates the amount of AC ripple present in the DC output, hence the purity.
Question 10 of 10
What is the relationship between the AC and DC components of a rectifier in the ripple factor calculation?
The ripple factor is defined as the ratio of the RMS value of the AC component of the output voltage or current to the DC component of the output voltage or current.
