Question:

The order of (a) transformer (b) diode rectifier (c) filter (d) voltage regulator in a block diagram of simple rectifier circuit is as

(a) b, d, c, a

(b) a, c, d, b

(c) a, b, c, d

(d) d, c, a, b

Show Hint

A power supply first steps the AC voltage down, then rectifies, smooths and finally regulates it.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
A simple DC power supply has four stages in this order.

Step 2: Stages
Transformer (a) changes the AC voltage level.\nDiode rectifier (b) converts AC to pulsating DC.\nFilter (c) smooths the ripple.\nVoltage regulator (d) keeps the output steady.

Step 3: Order
The order is a, b, c, d, which is statement (c) in the question.

Final Answer:
The correct order is transformer, rectifier, filter, regulator, that is a, b, c, d. \[ \boxed{\text{(C) }\text{c}} \]
