Q1:

As compared to a full wave diode rectifier circuit using centre tapped transformer, the bridge diode rectifier circuit has the main advantage of

A higher current carrying capacity

B higher efficiency

C lower ripple factor

D lower PIV

ANS:D - lower PIV

For bridge rectifier, peak inverse voltage is equal to peak value of ac voltage while for the circuit using centre tapped transformer peak inverse voltage is 2 Em.
