I think 2.4 is the division of 1/4(1.73)(60) but it should be 2.4m not 2.4.

@Uthaya.

Where did you get the 2.4 value?

@Tankiso.

What is that 1.73 value?

@Bhavani.

The default value of frequency is 60Hz. If it isn't stated in the problem then use that value for the frequency.

Bhavani said:   5 years ago
Why you using 60 in terms of frequency.

Vr(rms)=Idc/4 * 1.73 * f * C.
Vr(rms)=40mA/4 * 1.73 * 60 * 75uf.
Vr(rms)=1.28V.

Ripple of filter=(Vr(rms)/Vdc) * 100.
= (1.28/40) * 100,
= 3.2V.

I agree @Uthaya.

Using that formula, I (current load) must be in mA and C (capacitance) must be in uF.

@Uthaya.

Vrms = (2.4 * 40mA)/75uF.
=1280 not 1.28V.

Vrms = (2.4*Idc/C);
Vrms = (2.4*4*10^-3)/75*10^-6;

Vrms = 1.28V;
Ripple of a filter = (Vrms/Vdc)*100;
= (1.28/40)*100;
= 3.2%.
