In figure, PIV required for the diode is—
-
- 300 V
- 100 V
- 200 V
- 400 V
Correct Option: D
The given circuit (i.e., fig-1)
The PIV (i.e., Peak Inverse Voltage) is the maximum voltage that appears across the diode when it is in nonconducting stage.(i.e., fig-2)
– PIV + 300 + 100 = 0
or PIV = 400 V
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
