Question reads: > A full-wave bridge rectifier with an RL load is connected to a 120V source. If the load resistance is 10.8 \$\Omega\$ and L is very large, find: > > (a) Average load voltage > > (b) Average load current > > (c) Max load current > > (d) RMS value of load current > > (e) Average current in each diode > > (f) RMS current in each diode > > (g) Power supplied to the load > > (h) Ripple factors of the load voltage and current > > (i) Rectifier efficiency So, (a) $$V_{o(avg)}=\frac{2V_m}{\pi} =\frac{2\sqrt{2}V_s}{\pi} =108.04 \text{ V} $$ (b) $$\frac{V_{o(avg)}}{R}=\frac{2V_m}{\pi R}=10 \text{ A} $$ (c) $$\text{Should just be when $V_{m}$ is peak and $R$ is minimum, hence, }10 \text{ A} $$ (d) $$\text{Very large $L$ as given in the question}$$ $$\text{therefore the RMS current can be assumed to be equal to $I_{o(avg)}$, hence, }10 \text{ A} $$ (e) $$I_{D(avg)}=\frac{I_{o(avg)}}{2}=5 \text{ A} $$ (f) $$I_{D(RMS)}=\frac{I_{o(avg)}}{\sqrt{2}}=3.54 \text{ A} $$ (g) $$P_o=I_{o(avg)} \cdot V_{o(avg)}=1080.4 \text{ W} $$ (h) $$RF_V=\sqrt{\frac{V^2_{RMS}}{V^2_{o(avg)}}-1} = 0.619$$ $$RF_I=\sqrt{\frac{I^2_{RMS}}{I^2_{o(avg)}}-1} = 0 $$ (i) $$\text{Efficiency}=\frac{V_{o(avg)}\cdot I_{o(avg)}}{V_{RMS}\cdot I_{RMS}} = \frac{108.048\cdot 10}{\frac{120\sqrt{2}}{2}\cdot 10} = 1.273$$ Assuming, \$V_{RMS} = \frac{V_s \sqrt{2}}{2}\$ Obviously the efficiency shouldn't be greater than one... What have I done wrong?
