In the dc-dc buck converter shown in the figure, the duty cycle of the controllable switch (S) is 50 % and its switching frequency is 10 kHz. The average value of the load current is 5 A. Assume that all the components are ideal and the capacitor and inductor are operating in steady-state, then
1
Ripple in inductor current is 5 A
2
Average value of inductor current is 10 A
3
Value of critical inductance is 0.25 mH
4
Mode of operation is discontinuous
