A full wave rectifier circuit alongwith the output is shown in figure. The contribution(s) from the diode 1 is (are)


Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
During the positive half cycle of input, the upper diode gets forward biased and conducts current while lower diode 1 gets reverse biased and does not conduct current. During the negative half cycle of input, diode 1 gets forward biased and conducts current, So the contributions from diode l are B, D type.
