A single $$-$$ phase, $$230$$ $$V$$, $$50$$ $$Hz$$ $$ac$$ mains fed step down transformer $$(4:1)$$ is supplying power to a half $$-$$ wave uncontrolled $$ac$$ $$-$$ $$dc$$ converter used for charging a battery ($$12$$ $$V$$ $$dc$$) with the series current limiting resistor being $$19.04\,\Omega $$. The charging current is
A
$$3.43$$ $$A$$
B
$$1.65$$ $$A$$
C
$$1.22$$ $$A$$
D

A single phase full $$-$$ wave half $$-$$ controlled bridge converter feeds an inductive load. The two $$SCR's$$ in the converter are connected to a common $$DC$$ bus. The converter has to have a free wheeling diode
A
because the converter inherently does not provide for free - wheeling
B
because the converter does not provide for free - wheeling for high values of triggering angles
C
or else the free - wheeling action of the converter will cause shorting of the $$AC$$ triggering angles
D
or else if a gate pulse to one of the $$SCR$$s is missed, it will subsequently cause a high load current in the other $$SCR$$.
