Clampers 16:58
clamping is the process of introducing a dc level into an ac signal
Such a circuit has a minimum requirement of three elements. 1. a diode 2. a capacitor and 3. a resistor
It will generally need a dc battery also

Half-Wave Rectifier 16:58
A half-wave rectifier using silicon diode has a secondary emf of 14.14 V (rms) with a resistance of 0.2 Ω. The
diode has a forward resistance of 0.05 Ω and a threshold voltage of 0.7 V. If load resistance is 10 Ω, determine
(i) dc load current (ii) dc load voltage (iii) voltage regulation and (iv) efficiency.
