A bridge rectifier circuit has input of 50 Hz frequency. The load resistance is RL and filter capacitance is C. For good output wave shape, the time constant RLC should be at least equal to
10 ms
20 ms
50 ms
100 ms
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Time constant RLC must be about 5 x 20 ms.

t=5T max time for rc.

In bridge rectifier, to get good output it must have 5-time constants i.e 5 RLC.

Why 5 and not any other number?

Time = 1/frequency = 1/50 = 20 msec.

Capacitor fully charge time = 5xTime.

Rc = 5x20 ms = 100 msec.

Why 5*20 ms tell me?
