Consider the boost converter circuit shown. Assume that the semiconductor devices are ideal. In steady state, the inductor current rises linearly from 0 A to 6 A in the first 10 µs and then falls linearly from 6 A to 0 A in the next 10 µs of every switching cycle as shown. The load resistance R is 10 Ω and the capacitance C is 500 µF.
Neglect the ripple in the output voltage. What is the input voltage Vdc?
A
10.0 V
B
15.0 V
C
7.5 V
D
12.5 V

Correct : b
