In the following circuits, a diode bridge rectifier is connected to a switch and the load \( \mathrm{R} \) is connected either on \( \mathrm{AC} \) or on \( \mathrm{DC} \) sides as illustrated. The switch is operating at \( 500 \mathrm{~Hz} \) and at a duty cycle of \( 50 \% \). Assume that each diode has a constant voltage drop of \( 1 \mathrm{~V} \) when conducting. a) Plot the voltage and current waveforms of the load \( \mathrm{R} \) in both cases. b) Explain how to calculate the rms values of the voltages across the load \( \mathrm{R} \) in both cases. c) Explain how to calculate the total power losses in the rectifier circuits.
