Full wave rectifier; Full wave bridge rectifier
Full Wave Rectifier:- Full Wave Rectifier are used to convert AC into DC. Average DC output of full wave rectifier is more than half wave rectifier also ripples are lower in DC in full wave rectifier in comparison to half wave rectifier. Full wave rectifier circuit consists of 2 no. of diodes one for each half cycle. Full wave rectifier circuit is as shown below:- In above circuit secondary winding is center tapped. In this circuit each diode starts conducting when anode terminal is positive with respect to transformer center point. This will leads to conduct both diodes alternately and produces DC in both half cycles of AC. In circuit shown above you can see that there are two diode connected to single resistive load.In Transformer when point 1 get positive with respect to center point 3 diode 1 starts conducting and direction of flow is shown as in figure. Now when point 2 get positive with respect to center point 3 than diode 2 starts conducting in forward direction and direction of...
