Answer to Question #143392 in Electric Circuits for sukaina

Question

d the peak inverse voltage on diode if the peak voltage for half wave rectifier circuit is 20V and diode cut in voltage is 0.3 will be

Answer 1

PIV is the maximum reverse bias voltage that can appear on a diode in a given circuit if the rated power of the PIV is less than this diode breakdown value. For a rectifier, $PIV=V_m-V_d=20-0. 3=19.7$ V.
