Most computer power supplies contain both. The Transformers are usually toroidal transformers for high efficiency and compactness.
A rectifier is a device that converts AC to DC.A transformer is a device that changes the ratio of current to voltage.A computer power supply functions as both.Answer found in CompTIA A+ Guide to Managing and maintaining Your PC 6th edition on page 154.
The rectifier is what changes your AC into DC that the computer can use. Transformer raises or lowers the voltage. So you have 110 volts AC coming into your computers power supply. The Rectifier circuit in there changes the AC voltage to DC voltage but it is still to high for the computer use. The transformer lowers that voltage down to the various voltages that your computer needs
A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current. A transformer is a device that changes the ratio fo current to voltage. A rectifier is found in a PC power supply.
A transformer is a device that changes the level of an a.c. voltage, while a rectifier is a device that converts alternating current to direct current.
what is the function of transformer in the half wave rectifier circuit
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.
rectifier transformer converts acinto dc.but,power transformer convert step up or step down ac energy without changing frequency
The twoends of a center tap transformer cannot be used without a rectifier.
A full wave rectifier is a component or set of components that change AC waveforms into DC. It is frequently used as part of a power supply circuit and therefore it is often directly adjacent to a transformer. However, a transformer is used to provide a suitable AC voltage and is not part of the rectifier.
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
For decrease the rectifier number
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.
