Refer to the emergency-lighting system of Fig. 17.14

a. Sketch the waveform of the full-wave rectified signal across the bulb using a drop of 0.7 V during conduction of each diode.


b. Determine the peak voltage across the capacitor C1 when the SCR1 is off.


c. What is the peak voltage across R1 during the charging phase if the battery voltage drops to 5 V?


d. What is the voltage across the lamp when the SCR turns on and the battery is fully charged at 6 V?


e. What is the current drawn from the battery if the lamp is dissipating 2 W of power?
