DC Calculation We obtain

Eq. (15.13):  V_{ dc }^{\prime}=\frac{R_{L}}{R+R_{L}} V_{ dc }=\frac{5 k \Omega}{500+5 k \Omega}(150 V )= 1 3 6 . 4 V

AC Calculation The RC -section capacitive impedance is

Eq. (15.15):  X_{C}=\frac{1.3}{C}=\frac{1.3}{10}=0.13 k \Omega=130 \Omega

The ac component of the output voltage, calculated using Eq. (15.14),

V_{r}^{\prime}( rms ) \approx \frac{X_{C}}{R} V_{r}( rms )                            (15.14)

is

V_{r}^{\prime}( rms )=\frac{X_{C}}{R} V_{r}( rms )=\frac{130}{500}(15 V )= 3 . 9 V

The ripple of the output waveform is then

r=\frac{V_{r}^{\prime}( rms )}{V_{ dc }^{\prime}} \times 100 \%=\frac{3.9 V }{136.4 V } \times 100 \%= 2 . 8 6 \%
