4.69 A full-wave rectifier circuit with a 500-Ω load operates from a 120-V (rms) 60-Hz household supply through a 6-to-1 transformer having a center-tapped secondary winding. It uses two silicon diodes that can be modeled to have a 0.7-V drop for all currents. What is the peak voltage of the rectified output? For what fraction of a cycle does each diode conduct? What is the average output voltage? What is the average current in the load?
13.44 V; 48.4%; 8.3 V; 16.6 mA
