How many diodes are used to make a half wave rectifier?
You use a half-wave rectifier where the system design does not require a full-wave approach. Half wave rectifier output is used for running ac motors.
What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
What is the difference between a one diode rectifier and a two diode rectifier?
A one diode rectifier is called a half wave rectifier and only allows current flow for the positive portion of the sine wave. A two diode rectifier, or full wave rectifier allows positive current flow during the positive portion of the wave as well as positive current flow during the negative portion of the sine wave. This results in a much cleaner DC power signal. The addition of a capacitor in the output circuit will clean up the signal very nicely.
Why full eave rectifier rectifies negative half cycle?
the rectifier is Mainly used to convert the Ac current into DC current .In rectifier there are two diodes or (4 Diode In full wave bridge rectifier )are use is to conduct the current one is connected in forward bias(i.eD1) and the other is connected in reveres bias(i.eD2). As we know that the diode is conduct the current throw it When it is connected in forward bias . now when the voltage is applied to the circuit the the AC Current is start to flow throw circuit and in Positive half cycle of Ac current the Diode is Allow the current Pass throw it and during the Negative half cycle the Diode D2 is allow the current pass throw it and in these way the rectifier rectifies positive As Well As the negative half cycle
What is meant by Single phase half controlled bridge rectifier?
This is actually called a single phase half converter and it is used to have an adjustable DC output voltage. It is like a bridge rectifier but two of the diodes are replaced with a solid state switch, SCR for example, and there is also a freewheeling diode in parallel with the load. A half converted can have an output voltage that is adjustable from 0.9*E to 0 volts. It does this be adjusting the firing angle of the switches. There is also a full converted and the difference is that it has an output voltage from + 0.9*E to - 0.9*E volts.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
What is the purpose of half wave rectifier?
it has only one diode
What is the circuit diagram of half wave rectifier?
Just one diode.
How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.

What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
What happens if you reverse a diode in a half-wave rectifier?
you will get the opposite polarity DC as before
What is the working principle of halfwave rectifier?
Where a single diode is used as a rectifier you get halfwave rectification when the sinus wave is going positive the diode will conduct but in the negative half of the cycle it will block the current flow so the result wave form will be only the positive half that will be available for half the period of the cycle the other half will be 0 Volt
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
Why freewheeling diode is used?
1. Consider a simple half wave rectifier circuit consisting of an ac source a diode and a series R-L load.2. now during the positve half cycle of the source current, the diode conducts but it stops conducting when the negative half cycle starts.3. For an R-L load load current lags the source voltage and tries to flow in the previous direction even when the source voltage has reversed.4. This action due to the inductance, builds a high voltage across the diode which may exceed its forward breakdown limit and permanently damage it.5. Thus freewheeling diodes are used to short the load during negative half cycles and hence prevent the voltage breakdown of the semiconductor switches used in the control circuit.
