In a full-wave $P-N$ junction diode rectifier,a load resistance of $1500 \ \Omega$ is used. No filter is used. Assume each diode has a forward resistance $R_f = 10 \ \Omega$ and a reverse resistance $R_f = \infty$. When an input voltage with an amplitude of $30 \ V$ and a frequency of $50 \ Hz$ is applied,what are the peak,average,and $RMS$ values of the load current,respectively?

  • A
    $20.75 \ mA, 7.88 \ mA, 12.3 \ mA$
  • B
    $19.9 \ mA, 12.66 \ mA, 14.08 \ mA$
  • C
    $24.75 \ mA, 12.3 \ mA, 12.3 \ mA$
  • D
    $19.05 \ mA, 6.88 \ mA, 10.3 \ mA$
