    Secondary Voltage=240/8 = 30V
    Peak Load Voltage= √2 x 30 = 42.5V

    The

    .... filter circuit

    results in the best voltage regulation

    1. choke input

    2. capacitor input

    3. resistance input

    4. none of the above

    Emf/ turn are constant in a transferred.
    Secondary vtg = 240/8= 30
    In half wave rectifier pic= ✓2 x Vm
    ✓2*30=42.5.

    V1/V2 =N1/N2
    Vrms = 0.707Vo

    Vrms= 0.707 Vo
    Vo=240/8 = 30
