How does voltage becomes 4 times?

Sayali &sarika said: 1 decade ago

This is quadruple circuit but output voltage increases up to two times only i.e. 2Vo.

Gayu said: 1 decade ago

Its a voltage quadrupler circuit which quadrupples the voltage.

Thanks srinivasan

If it has another capacitor brunch C5 then it would be what 5 times of the transformer voltage.

Srinivasan said: 1 decade ago

This circuit is called voltage quadrupler. 4 times the input voltage which is 20 but the capcitor polarity is given in opposite direction, so -20V

Rahul said: 1 decade ago

This circuit is known as the voltage doubler.
