Question

advantage and disadvantages of pn junction diode as a full wave rectifier​

Answer 1

Answer:

The main advantages of a full-wave bridge rectifier is that it has a smaller AC ripple value for a given load and a smaller reservoir or smoothing capacitor than an equivalent half-wave rectifier.

Explanation:

disadvantage=full wave rectifier requires more diodes i.e two for centre tap rectifier and four for bridge rectifier. When a small voltage is required to be rectified this full wave rectifier circuit is not suitable.
