A: Most devices and IC do not or cannot work properly with AC applied therefore the AC is rectified to DC. Full wave rectification Will give more power.

The bridge doesn't require a center-tapped transformer secondary, so has

available the voltage of the full secondary winding, rather than half of it.

What is the advantages of halt wave rectifier over full wave rectifier?

Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.

What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.


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 are the advantages and dis advantage of full-wave bridge rectifier compared with two diodes rectifier?

in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.


Which provide more power and why full wave or half wave rectification?

full wave rectifier, because in half wave rectifier only one p-n junction diode Ans 2. In full wave rectifier both negative & positive cycles are rectified , but , in half wave rectifier only the positive or the negative cycle is rectified . That's why full wave rectifier provides more power .

What is ripple factor of the Full-wave rectifier?

The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482


Conclusions of full-wave rectifier?

A half wave rectifier is not as effective as a full wave rectifier. With a 1/2 wave, you are throwing away one hump of the sine wave...either positive or negative portion. With a full wave rectifier you get both humps...either positive or negative. The resultant effective voltage is much greater with a full wave rectifier, because there is very little time when the voltage is zero. The half wave is zero for 1/2 of the cycle.


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 are the advantages and disadvantage of full-wave bridge rectifier?

The purpose of a bridge rectifier is to basically turn AC into DC. In a half wave rectifier you just eliminate the negative part of sine wave so you have positive cycle and then zero volts for 1/2 a cycle. In a full wave you flip the negative to positive so you have continually repeating positive halfs of the sine wave. So, it is easier to filter the full wave into DC with a capacitor and you get more average power. The down side is the bridge is slightly more complex.
