Q178 / 180 · KCET 2016 · Physics

Constant DC voltage is required from a variable AC voltage. Which of the following is correct
order of operation?

  • A
    Regulator, filter, rectifien
  • B
    Rectifier, regulator, filter
  • Correct answer
    C
    Rectifier, filter, regulator
  • D
    Filter, regulator, rectifien

Solution

In order of obtain a constant dc voltage from a variable acsource following operations should be performed:1. Rectifier: it
converts full ac signal to pulsating dc signal.
2. Filter: The pulsating dc signal is converted to pure dc signal.
3. Regulator: It provides stable dc voltage independent to the load current and ac source voltage variations.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
