(choose chapter or problem)

(III) A silicon diode passes significant current only if the forward-bias voltage exceeds about 0.6 V. Make a rough estimate of the average current in the output resistor  of (a) a half-wave rectifier (Fig. 29-29), and  a full-wave rectifier (Fig. 29-30) without a capacitor. Assume that \(R=150\ \Omega\) in each case and that the ac voltage is 12.0 V rms in each case.
