Statement-I:
To get a steady dc output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect a capacitor across the output parallel to load R_L.
Statement-II:
To get a steady dc output from the pulsating voltage received from a full wave rectifier we can connect an inductor in series with R_L.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
(1) Statement I is true but Statement II is false
(2) Statement I is false but Statement II is true
(3) Both Statement I and Statement II are false
(4) Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- Statement I is false but Statement II is true
- Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Correct answer: Both Statement I and Statement II are true
Solution
Both statements are correct as they describe methods to smooth out the pulsating DC output from a full wave rectifier. A capacitor across the load helps to filter the voltage fluctuations, while an inductor in series can also smooth the current by opposing changes in current flow.
