Power Supplies
1. A mains transformer having a turns ratio of 44:1 is connected to a 220 V r.m.s. mains
supply. If the secondary output is applied to a half-wave rectifier, determine the peak

conjunction with a supply of 9 V.
3. If a 9V Zener diode is to be used in a simple shunt regulator circuit to supply a load
