Problem 6. A half-wave rectifier such as shown in Figure 2.2(a) has a 2 k load. The input is a 120 V (rms), 60 Hz signal and the transformer is a 10:1 step-down transformer. The diode has a cut-in voltage of V₁ = 0.7 V (rf = 0). (a) What is the peak output voltage? (b) Determine the peak diode current.
