For a bridge rectifier, the peak inverse voltage across each ideal diode is approximately?

  • AVm
  • B2Vm
  • CVm/2
  • D4Vm
Report an error
Correct Answer: A. Vm
Explanation: In a standard bridge rectifier, each nonconducting diode must withstand approximately the peak secondary voltage Vm, unlike a center-tapped full-wave rectifier where the PIV is approximately 2Vm.
Reference: Standard electronics: bridge rectifier PIV
