The formula to calculate the peak-to-peak ripple voltage (Vpp) for a full-wave rectifier is:
\[ V_{pp} = \frac{I}{2 \cdot f \cdot C} \]
Where:
Ripple voltage is defined as the residual periodic variation of the DC voltage within a power supply that has been derived from an AC source. It is an important parameter in the design and analysis of power supply circuits, as excessive ripple can affect the performance and reliability of electronic devices.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the ripple voltage:
\[ V_{pp} = \frac{2}{2 \cdot 60 \cdot 0.001} = \frac{2}{0.12} \approx 16.67 \text{ V} \]
The Ripple Voltage (Vpp) is approximately 16.67 V.
