Engineering Effect of Cell on circuit half-wave rectifier circuit waveforms

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on understanding the impact of a battery on the waveforms produced by a half-wave rectifier circuit. The user is confused about how the battery affects the output waveforms and the conduction angle of the diode. A suggestion is made to first analyze the waveform without the battery to clarify the expected output from the diode. The battery is compared to another component with two plates, prompting a consideration of how such components interact with the half-wave rectifier's output. The conversation emphasizes the need for a foundational understanding of circuit behavior before incorporating the battery into the analysis.

Homework Equations


A halt-wave rectifier(a) is used to charge a battery E.The battery is rated at 12V 100Wh. Average charging current for the battery should be 5A.The primary input voltage is 120v at 60Hz and the transformer has 2 : 1 turns ratio:

Determine:
i) wave form for Vs, i0, Vs - E
ii)The conductor angle of the diode.

The Attempt at a Solution


[/B]
I have not really done anything tryed to draw the graph or get the conductor angle of the diode as I am confused by what effect the battery has on the waveforms.For I full wave rectifier I have something like figure (b).

hi neobrain, welcome :)

OK for a start remove the battery and draw the waveform expected out of the diode

then consider what the battery is very similar to ... another component with 2 plates
what do you know about what happens when that other component is placed across the output of a half-wave rectifier ?
cheers
Dave
