Ripple factor: The output of the rectifier is of pulsating d.c. type. The amount of a.c. content in the output can be mathematically expressed by a factor called the ripple factor (γ). The ripple factor expresses how much successful the circuit is, in obtaining pure d.c from a.c. input. Less is the ripple factor, better is the performance of the circuit. Ripple Factor γ = R.M.S value of a.c component of output ⁄ Average or d.c component of the output
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The average value of the sine wave over one complete cycle is actually zero. Hence, for a sine wave, the average value is defined over half the period. The average value expressed in terms of peak value is given by Average value = 0.637 × peak value
According to the Norton theorem, to find the Norton current, first remove the load resistance RL from the network terminals AB. Short circuit the terminals AB as shown in Figure calculate the current ISc or IN through the short circuit. Now resistance of 150Ω will not show any effect in the circuit. So only resistance of 30Ω will be effective. Norton current IN = 360/30 IN = 12 A
