Problem 4.122

Fig. 4.32 illustrates the simplest ripple filter. A voltage V=V0(1+cosωt)V=V_{0}(1+\cos \omega t) is fed to the left input. Find: (a) the output voltage V(t)V^{\prime}(t) (b) the magnitude of the product RCR C at which the output amplitude of alternating voltage component is η=7.0\eta=7.0 times less than the direct voltage component, if ω=314 s1\omega=314 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}.

Reveal Answer
4.122. (a) V=V0+Vmcos(ωtα),V^{\prime}=V_{0}+V_{m} \cos (\omega t-\alpha), where Vm=V0/1+(ωRC)2V_{m}=V_{0} / \sqrt{1+(\omega R C)^{2}} α=arctan(ωRC)\alpha=\arctan (\omega R C) (b) RC=η21/ω=22 msR C=\sqrt{\eta^{2}-1} / \omega=22 \mathrm{~ms}
