Half-Wave Rectifier Circuit

1.)Consider building circuit below.

Determine the components needed in order to make the output ripple have a [math]\Delta V[/math] less than 1 Volt.

The output ripple can be found by [math]\Delta V=\frac{I\Delta t}{C}[/math]

I have used the following components and input parameters:

[math]R = 96.9\ k\Omega[/math]
[math]R_L = 98.7\ k\Omega[/math]
[math]R_{scope} = 1\ M\Omega[/math]
[math]C = 2.2\ uF[/math]

and the following input parameters:

[math]\Delta t = 17\ ms\ which\ corresponds\ to\ 60\ Hz[/math]
[math]V_{in} = 24\ V[/math]

The current through the circuit can be found as [math]I = \frac{V_{in}}{R_{tot}}[/math]

where {math}R_{tot} = R + \frac{R_L \cdot \frac{1}{j\omega C}}{R_L + \frac{1}{j\omega C}}{/math}

So my output ripple becomes </math>\Delta V = \frac{}{}</math>

List the components below and show your instructor the output observed on the scope and sketch it below.
