What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?

They both have the same current.


What is full wave bridge rectifier?

A: This type of rectifier circuit will conduct current trough a load both times during the AC positive and negative cycle


What is the advantage of using the bridge rectifier over the conventional full wave circuit?

Output voltage is higher!!!


Why you are using the bridge rectifier in most of the circuits instead of full wave rectifier eventhough the output of both are same?

If diode in the bridge circuit becomes open the circuit will become a half wave rectifier instead, but if a diode in a full wave rectifier opens then the whole circuit becomes open. (No current flow). ************************************************************** The outputs of the bridge and the two-diode full wave rectifier are not the same. For the rectified voltage to be the same value, the two-diode full wave rectifier must be supplied from a centre tapped transformer winding, the total voltage of which is twice that necessary for the bridge rectifier circuit. Furthermore, the maximum d.c. which may be drawn from the centre tapped transformer/two-diode arrangement, assuming capacitive filtering, is the same value as the transformer secondary winding's capacity. In the case of the bridge, the maximum d.c. which may be drawn, also assuming capacitive filtering, is 62% of the transformer secondary winding's capacity.


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.


How ac regulate the DC voltages?

to take an AC source and turn it into a DC output it would need to go through a bridge rectifier, then into a smoothing circuit, then into a stabilisation circuit, a transformer may be used before the bridge rectifier to either step-up or step down the voltage.


What is the purpose of a rheostat in the determination of an unknown resistor?

In a bridge circuit the unknown resistor is compared to the rheostat. When the meter across the bridge reads in the middle the unknown and the rheostat are the same value.

Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?

a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
