GATE EE 1993

MCQ (Single Correct Answer)

-0.3

A chopper operating at a fixed frequency is feeding an $$R$$-$$L$$ load. As the duty ratio of the chopper is increased from $$25\% $$ to $$75\% $$, the ripple in the load current

Remains constant

Decreases, reaches a minimum at $$50\% $$ duty ratio and then increases

Increases, reaches a maximum at $$50\% $$ duty ratio and then decreases

Keeps on increasing as the duty ratio is increased
