Why in 4 diode full wave rectification you use bridge?

bridge is use in 4 diode fullwave rectification to allow complete cycle so that there will an output DC for both the positive and ndgative half-cycle of the input AC.


What is the advantage of using the bridge rectifier over the two diode form in the full wave rectification?

the ease of filtering their outpot voltages


What is the formula for rectification efficiency for full wave bridge rectifier?

It is defined as dc power delivered to the load to the ac input power from secondary transformer


What happen when full wave bridgerectifier is incomplete?

The output degrades to half-wave rectification.


What are the real life applications of bridge rectifier?

It's the only way to accomplish full-wave rectification of AC without a center-tapped transformer winding.


What is the different between half wave and full wave?

As states half wave will rectify only either positive or negative of a full wave. full wave will rectify positive and negative making it full wave rectification.


Can a half wave rectification circuit be used to power radio receivers?

Of course. It's not as efficient or noiseless as full-wave rectification, but it's certainly usable as a source of DC.


Can full wave rectification be done by two diodes?

Yes, if the transformer secondary is centertapped.


Where is a diode used?

A diode is used as a rectifier, clipper and to get square wave form. The combination of diode (bridge) is used for full wave rectification. It also used as a voltage controlar. Different types of diodes have different uses in different appliences.


What is difference full wave rectification with two and four diodes?

69 protons and 69 neutrons i think?


Why use half wave rectification and what are its advantages over full wave rectification?

A full-wave rectifier will provide an output through both the positive and negative halves of the AC sine wave. The half-wave rectifier will only provide an output for half the cycle. The filtered outputs of both rectifiers can be "smoothed" well, but the higher the load on the half-wave rectifier, the more the output voltage will vary across a cycle of input power. This results in higher ripple and makes regulation a bit more difficult. The full-wave rectifier will provide an output through both the positive and negative halves of the sine wave. It effectively "inverts" the negative half of the cycle and provides two "pulses" of power per cycle as opposed to one pulse per cycle for the half-wave rectifier. The full-wave rectifier might use a pair of diodes and a center tapped transformer, or might use four diodes in a full wave bridge configuration and a transformer with no center tap.


What is the Difference between half wave and full wave rectifiers?

Half-wave rectification is achieved using a single diode in a one phase supply, or by using three diodes in a three phase supply. In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed and the other half is blocked. Since only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is very inefficient if used for power transfer. A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to DC (direct current), and is more efficient.
