1 Determine an equation for the efficiency (power out/power in) of a four diode bridge AC rectifier circuit. Approximate the load as one large resistor and do not assume the diode resistance is negligible. Make sure to solve the equation so only known quantities (load resistance, source voltage, ect) and not unknown quantities (currents ect) appear in it.

2. Modify your equation to include a capacitor in parallel with the load that will smooth out the resultant DC voltage and compare the two results.

    A full-wave diode rectifier supplies a 30Ω resistive load from a 400Hz, 110V single-phase AC supply. A capacitor is connected in parallel with the load. Calculate the capacitance required if the maximum peak-to-peak voltage ripple across the resistor is to be restricted to 10V. You may assume that the RC product of the resistance and capacitance will be significantly greater than the period of the AC waveform. State any other assumptions made.
