Q1:

The voltage across the secondary of the transformer in a half wave rectifier with a shunt capacitor filter is 50 volts. The maximum voltage that will occur on the reverse biased diode will be

A 100 V

B 88 V

C 50 V

D 25 V

ANS:A - 100 V

No @Hari Charan. The peak inverse voltage of half wave rectifier = Vm. So, the answer should be 50V.
