Can the regulator given in Figure Q4.b be used to regulate the output of a full-waverectifier, given the specifications for Io and Vpk in the Table 4 above? The rectifier voltage varies between 0.7Vpk and Vpk (that is, the ripple voltage is 30%of Vpk). The value of the Zener voltage Vz is 5.6 V, and the Zener diode power ratingis 2W. The regulator must supply to the load the current of at least Io mA. mA = 160 V = 22v To answer this question, you need to determine the value of the resistor R for theoutput requirements specification for Io and Vpk given in Table 4.

Some electronic devices operate on a DC voltage of 7.5 V. To obtain 7.5 V DC from a 120-V (rms) AC line, first the voltage is dropped to 7.5 V (rms) AC by a transformer, and then the 7.5 V AC is converted to 7.5 V DC by a rectifier circuit involving diodes.
