What is a rectifier ? with the help of a neat circuit diagram explain the working of a full wave rectifier.
Answers
Explanation:
This rectifier as two crystal diode. It is connected to AC power supply and a centre tapped transformer is connected with load resistor. During both cycles, the diode conducts the current alternatively. Hence, current in same direction flows through the load resistor
Answer:
A circuit or device that is used to convert an alternating voltage (or current) into direct (unidirectional) voltage (or current) is called a rectifier.
In the figure shown above AB is the primary coil to which the alternating input waveform is fed CD is the secondary coil
Now from the figure above in the first positive half cycle of input waveform from the point A is positive and point B is negative in the primary coil.
By mutual induction point C becomes positive and D becomes negative in the secondary coil
