Question

What is full wave rectifier explain 2 type of rectifier?

Answer 1

A Full wave rectifier is a circuit arrangement which makes use of both half cycles of input alternating current (AC) and converts them to direct current (DC). In our tutorial on Half wave rectifiers, we have seen that a half wave rectifier makes use of only one-half cycle of the input alternating current. Thus a full wave rectifier is much more efficient (double+) than a half wave rectifier. This process of converting both half cycles of the input supply (alternating current) to direct current (DC) is termed full wave rectification.

Full wave rectifier can be constructed in 2 ways. The first method makes use of a centre tapped transformer and 2 diodes. This arrangement is known as Center Tapped Full Wave Rectifier.

Answer 2

Full wave rectifier that convert ac into dc and in this we get a continuous dc wave in same plane .full wave rectifier are of two type
1) centred tapped full wave
rectifier
2)Bridge full wave rectifier
