3. A half wave rectifier has input voltage source vS(t) = Vm sin(ωt) and a load with
resistance R and a battery with voltage Vdc. Sketch the current waveform and the
diode voltage waveform. Derive the expression for conduction angle.
4. Determine an expression for the power factor of a full-wave diode rectifier that has an
R-L load where the L is large and the load current is considered to be dc. The input
voltage is sinusoidal. Simulate this circuit and show the input voltage and input
current. Use a sinusoidal voltage of Vm = 100 V peak and 60 Hz frequency for the
input voltage and a 10 A dc current source for the load current (determine the
required value of R).
Also do a Fourier series analysis of the input current waveform using the Fourier
feature of PSIM. Print out the results and indicate the magnitude of the first five
harmonics in per unit, using the magnitude of the fundamental as the base.
Note that the output voltage can be expressed as in the following Fourier series form:

5. A full-wave diode rectifier is fed to a load that can be modeled as a dc current source

7. Simulate a full-wave rectifier with a capacitive output filter and a resistive load using
PSIM. The rectifier has a 120 V source at 60 Hz, R = 500 Ω and C = 100 μF. Show
