What observation is made when using a bigger value for a capacitor in a full wave bridge rectifier?

bigger capacitor value will make the discharge taking longer time and that is willmake the curve is closer to dc line which means the higher capacitor value will help to have a closer signal to the dc and reduce the ripple voltage

Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
If a single phase 240 Volt ac is applied to a full wave bridge rectifier. what will be the resultant dc voltage?
A: the rms value will be169 volts add a capacitor and no load 240 volts and the average will be 153 volts
Purpose of bridge diode in a power supply?
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
Can you give 230V ac directly to bridge rectifier?
Yes, if the diodes that the bridge rectifier are rated for 230V in forward and reverse voltages. Normally you can do a search for the part number on the internet and get specs there.
What are the simple applications of bridge rectifier?
A bridge recifier is a full wave rectifier. It takes each part of the AC waveform, rectifies it and adds them together, giving a smoother output compared to a half wave recifier. They are used in simple power supplies, using a mains transformer, a bridge rectifier and a smoothing capacitor. Further regulation can then be added for stable power supplies.
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.
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
How do you make project of bridge rectifier on breadboard?

What converts an alternating current to diredt current?
Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
What is the effect of a leaky capacitor filter on the output of a full-wave bridge rectifier?
A: The leakage is an additional load to the bridge effect is that the capacitor will get hot then hotter because of it leaks more eventually blows hopefully open or dead short. both of these scenario may save the power supply.
Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier

What is the maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a bridge rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor?
The maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a bridge rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor is about 24V.This assumes a truly sinusoidal AC waveform, and a forward conductioin voltage of 0.7 volts across each diode.Multiply 18 by the square root of two, and subtract two times the diode voltage.The maximum is the peak value. If there is any load on the output, there will be some ripple, but the peak value will still be around 24V.To calculate the output voltage of single phase diode bridge it is reasonable to assume a filter capacitor exists across the output and realize that it will be charged to the maximum voltage available to it.
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.
