The document describes a dc battery charging circuit using a half-wave rectifier connected to a 230V 50Hz source through an 8 ohm resistor. It asks to (a) find the average charging current, (b) find the power supplied to the battery and dissipated in the resistor, (c) calculate the supply power factor, (d) find the charging time if battery capacity is 1000Wh, and (e) find the rectifier efficiency and peak inverse voltage of the diode.
