[!TLDR]

Rectangular 10 V pulses, ON for 75% of each period and OFF for 25%; average output = 7.5 V.

The output of a DC chopper for a resistive load is a train of rectangular pulses whose height equals the input DC voltage and whose ON-time fraction equals the duty ratio. With a 10 V input and a duty ratio of 75% (TON/T=0.75T_{ON}/T = 0.75), each period TT has the output held at 10 V for the first 75% of the period (TON=0.75TT_{ON} = 0.75T) and at 0 V for the remaining 25% (TOFF=0.25TT_{OFF} = 0.25T). The av …
