Electric circuits — practice question

Fig. 9.1 depicts a circuit containing an alternating current (a.c.) supply, a resistor and a diode. The frequency of the power supply is 50 Hz.
(a)[2]

Calculate the time period (the duration of one complete cycle) of the a.c. supply.

(b(i))[2]

On Fig. 9.2, sketch a graph to show how the p.d. across the resistor changes with time for two cycles.

(b(ii))[1]

Mark the p.d. axis with the peak value of p.d.

(b(iii))[2]

Put two time values on the time axis.
