AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the comparison between RLE load and capacitive load in buck chopper circuits, highlighting that different sources provide varying circuit designs. The user questions whether the two configurations are fundamentally identical. The conversation suggests that while both circuits serve similar functions, their operational characteristics may differ due to the load types. A link to a resource on buck power supplies is shared for further clarification. Ultimately, understanding the nuances between these configurations is essential for accurate circuit design.

Homework Statement



I've gone through two different books... and both give a different circuit for the buck chopper.
Is the one with RLE load is totally same like the one with a capacitor in parallel with the resistive load?
