(ii) Briefly explain the principle of operation of the rectifier circuit. Ensure to explain about the pair of diodes that conduct for the positive cycle and the pair that conducts for the negative cycle of the input signal. (iii) Suppose the input signal vs(t) is a sine wave with a peak voltage of 8 V and frequency of 50 Hz. Sketch the output signal across the load resistor RL with the expected peak voltage. Also state the ripple frequency beside the waveform. (iv) Explain why there is a short period between pulses when the output voltage is zero.
