Response to the following problem:
The circuit shown in Figure is a model for a battery charger. Here vI is a 6-V peak sine wave, D1 and D2 are ideal diodes, I is a 60-mA current source, and B is a 3-V battery. Sketch and label the waveform of the battery current iB.
What is its peak value?
What is its average value?
If the peak value of vI is reduced by 10%, what do the peak and average values of iB become?
