When the AC waveform goes to one peak, the capacitor that follows the diode is charged to that peak value. When the AC waveform goes to the other peak, the same diode is reverse biased between the alternate peak value and the charged value of the capacitor. This differential voltage is two times peak voltage.

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.
What is the average voltage of a full-wave rectifier if the peak voltage is 900 volts?
between 900 and 600 depending on load and capacitance
What is PIV value of a half wave rectifier?
A: It realy does not matter half or full wave. the PIV will be 1.41 the RMS input example 100v ac will have a requirement of PIV of 141 volts on the rectifiers.
What is the peak value of the input to a half wave rectifier if the half wave rectifier is 10V?
In this case, the peak voltage, which is half the peak to peak voltage, is 100 volts. Additionally, the half-wave rectifier will only provide an output for half the input cycle. In the case of a full wave rectifier, the RMS output voltage would be about 0.707 times the value of the peak voltage (100 volts), which would be about 70.7 volts. But with the output operating only half the time (because of the half wave rectification), the average output voltage will be half the 70.7 volts, or about 35.35 volts RMS.
What does the term PIV for a diode refer to?
Peak Inverse Voltage, the maximum reverse bias (inverse) voltage that can be applied to the diode without damaging or destroying it. The work "peak" is used to remind you that when using the diode to rectify AC (or arbitrary waveforms) you must use the peak voltage, not the RMS voltage.

What is the peak inverse voltage rating of diode in bridge rectifier?
2x the peak supply voltage!
Formula for peak inverse voltage?
piv:the maximum value of reverse voltage across a diode that occurs at the peak of the input cycle when the diode is reversed-biased.
What was the major factor for developing the full wave rectifier?
1. Efficiency of full wave rectifier is better than other rectifiers i.e, Efficiency()=81.2%. 2.It's Peak Inverse voltage (P I V)=2Vm.

Why is the peak inverse voltage in a full wave rectifier 2VMAX?
Assuming that the rectifier will be followed by a filter capacitor, the p.i.v. should be at least twice the peak of the applied a.c. (The capacitor will charge to the peak of the applied a.c. On the next half cycle of the input, the peak of that cycle will be of the opposite sign to that of the stored voltage on the capacitor, so the two add - giving twice the peak.)
What pick inverse voltage?
You mean peak inverse voltage.It is the maximum voltage (peak) the diode can be reversed biased (inverse) by without being destroyed.
How can capacitor smooth or reduce the ripple of the voltage produced by the rectifier?
when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.
What is a peak load voltage out of a bridge rectifier for a secondary voltage of 15 Vrms?
A: Peak voltage is RMS multiplied by a factor of 1.41
What is PIV value of a half wave rectifier?
A: It realy does not matter half or full wave. the PIV will be 1.41 the RMS input example 100v ac will have a requirement of PIV of 141 volts on the rectifiers.
What is the importance of peak inverse voltage?
Peak inverse voltage of a device like diode gives the maximum value of voltage that it can withstand without being damaged when it is reverse biased.
