  1. Question 1

    Q1. In a half-wave rectifier, the input voltage is 220 V (rms). What is the peak output voltage?

    • A) 310 V
    • B) 311 V
    • C) 312 V
    • D) 200 V

    Answer: 311 V

    Explanation: Vpeak = Vrms * √2 = 220 * 1.414 = 311 V. Option D is incorrect as it doesn't consider peak value.
