Question

explain the function of p_n junction diodes as a full wave rectifier?........plxxx give me write answer plxxxx​

Answer 1

For full wave recifier, two p-n junction diodes are required. The p-sides of the diode are connected to the input while the n-sides are connected together and along with the centre, tap form the output.

During the positive cycle of the alternating voltage, one diode conducts while the other doesn’t. This is reversed during the negative cycle. Hence, both positive and negative cycles are converted into a direct voltage.
