It is required to use a peak rectifier to design a dc power supply that provides an average dc output voltage of 15 V on which a maximum of 1-V ripple is allowed. The rectifier feeds a load of 150 ohm. The rectifier is fed from the line voltage (120 V rms, 60 Hz) through a transformer. The diodes available have 0.7-V drop when conducting. If the designer opts for the half-wave circuit:

(a) Specify the rms voltage that must appear across the transformer secondary.

(b) Find the required value of the filter capacitor.

(d) Calculate the average current through the diode during conduction.

(e) Calculate the peak diode current.
