A 60Hz, 117Vrms sine wave is applied to a center-tapped step-down transformer with a 20:1 turns ratio. Assuming that the diodes have a 0.7V forward drop and a low "on" resistance, what is Vp?

What value of C will result in 500mV of ripple?

Over what percentage of a 60Hz cycle is each diode on? (Conduction angle)

What is the time-average current through each diode during the time it is on?

Sketch the waveform for Vout on the graph below.
