This document contains 4 problems from a tutorial on power electronics. Problem 1 asks the student to sketch voltage and current waveforms for a simple circuit with an inductor and switch, and identify issues with the circuit. Problem 2 adds a zener diode and asks which breakdown voltage would be preferred. Problem 3 adds a rectifier diode. Problem 4 asks the student to calculate and draw voltage and current waveforms over multiple switch cycles for a circuit with an inductor, switch, and resistor load.

Sketch vS , iL waveforms. What is the problem with this arrangement? Will the problem be solved if we
place the switch in vacuum?
Problem 2:

A zener diode DZ is added to the circuit in Problem 1 as shown. Two devices, with breakdown voltages
of 40 V and 80 V, are available. Which would you prefer? Why?
When switch is controlled in the same manner as in Problem 1, sketch vS , iL waveforms.

A rectifier diode DF (known as a 'free-wheel' diode) is added to the circuit in Problem 1 as shown.
Assume ideal diode operation. When switch is controlled in the same manner as in Problem 1, sketch
vS, iL waveforms.

Here, S is controlled in a repetitive, periodic manner as shown. Calculate and draw on graph sheet vS ,
iL and vo waveforms for the first six cycles. Do you think the iL and vo waveforms have reached cyclic
(periodic) steady-state?
