#21.8 A halfwave DC power supply operates from the New Zealand AC mains. The ripple
frequency will be:
25 Hz
50 Hz
70 Hz
100 Hz
% ans 2
%Question: 9
#21.9 The output voltage of a DC power supply decreases when current is drawn from it because:
drawing output current causes the input mains voltage to decrease
drawing output current causes the input mains frequency to decrease
all power supplies have some internal resistance
some power is reflected back into the mains.
% ans 3
%Question: 10
#21.10 Electrolytic capacitors are used in power supplies because:
they are tuned to operate at 50 Hz
they have very low losses compared to other types
they radiate less RF noise than other types
they can be obtained in larger values than other types
% ans 4
