A half-wave rectifier using diodes for which VD = 0.7 V, is supplied by an 8 V rms sine wave at 60 Hz. What is the peak value of the output voltage for very light loads? For what fraction of a cycle does the diode conduct (first approximately, and then more exactly)? What is the average value of the output vol-tage? What is the peak-inverse voltage across the diode? Now, if the diode resistance is 10 n, the source resistance is 50 U. and the load resistance is I kat what do the peak and average output voltages
