Q 12-14-029NEETJEE MainMedium
A bridge rectifier made of four silicon diodes (each dropping $0.7$ V when conducting) is fed an AC voltage of peak value $10$ V. The peak voltage across the load is
Answer: (D) $8.6$ V
In a bridge rectifier, two diodes are in the current path during each half cycle.
Peak output $= 10 - 2 \times 0.7 = 8.6$ V.
