Answer:

0.5 or 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ripple ratio is a measure of the magnitude of AC voltage compared to the DC voltage in a circuit, typically used in power electronics. It is calculated as the ratio of the amplitude of the AC component (VAC) to the DC component (VDC) in a waveform.

Given:

Amplitude of AC component (VAC) = 10 Vpp (peak-to-peak) = 10/2 = 5 V

Nominal DC voltage (VDC) = 10 V

Ripple Ratio = VAC / VDC

Ripple Ratio = 5 V / 10 V

Ripple Ratio = 0.5 (or 50% when expressed as a percentage)

So, the ripple ratio for the given circuit is 0.5 or 50%.
