A-LevelPhysicsAlternating currentsMay/June 2019Paper 4 Q104 Marks

A bridge rectifier contains four diodes. The output of the rectifier is connected to a resistor R, as shown in Fig. 10.1. [Figure 10.1] The variation with time t of the input e.m.f. E to the rectifier is given by the expression E = 15 cos(210t) where t is measured in seconds and E in volts. The variation with time t of the potential difference V across resistor R is shown in Fig. 10.2. [Figure 10.2] Determine:
