Including a full-wave rectifier in an ac circuit will yield a n---- current?

With the rectifier alone, the result is d.c. but with a voltage ripple caused by the rectifier diodes not being absolute in action. The rectifier needs following with a smoothing circuit, a suitable capacitor at its simplest, to remove the ripple.

What is a recifier?
An electrical device that converts alternating current into direct current is a rectifier. Diodes, which pass only current going one direction, are a type of rectifier. Most power supplies for electronic equipment contain rectifiers along with other components to "clean" the DC power output.
Is silicon rectifier a good conductor or good insulator?
It's a good conductor of current flowing in one direction, and a good insulator when current tries to flow in the other direction.
A circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow through?
A series circuit has only one path for current flow.
What is happening when a switch is off?
When the light switch is turned on and a light bulb is connected in the circuit a current will flow through the circuit. Likewise when the switch is opened, the current will stop flowing in the circuit.
Does a battery supply the electrons in an electric circuit?
No, is it incorrect to say that a battery produces the charges that circulate in a circuit. Some might suggest that a battery is a current source, but the battery should most properly be considered a voltage source. It generates the electromotive force (emf or voltage) that causes charges to move. (It does this through electrochemical reactions.) The charges that circulate in a circuit (which might be termed the current flow) are already in the conductor and components. All the battery does is produce the voltage (the force) to move charges. Let's look at current flow and see why things might be best looked at in the manner we've stated.Note that the way a battery moves charges is to "inject" an electron into the circuit where it is tied to the negative terminal of that battery. The electron causes one electron in the circuit at the terminal to "move over" and that will cause another electron to "move over" and so on. This will continue until the "last electron" in the circuit at the positive terminal of the battery leaves the circuit and "goes into" the battery. Current flow in the circuit is like musical chairs with electrons everywhere in the circuit "moving over a space" to cause the current flow.Having gone through all that, it should be easier to see why a battery probably should not be considered the producer of charges that circulate in a circuit. Rather, the battery is the source of the voltage that drives the charges (the current) in the circuit.
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
Guyz how much voltdrop do you expect to get when measuring across 1 of the fwd biased Si diodes when the circuit is a fullwave bridge rectifier if supplied with 12Vac load being 3673 ohms?
A; engineers assume .6 to .8 volts depending on current flow however Boltzmann constant can be applied if the current is fixed otherwise back to assuming.
What is the effect of an RL circuit in half wave rectifier?
The effect of an RL circuit in half wave rectifier is that the voltage output wave forms for current and voltage will be modified .
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.
Which electronics circuit gives unidirectional current or wave form?
A rectifier circuit produces a unidirectional wave form.
Can a rectifier work either way?
if you are looking for the direction of rectifier than Yes. the rectifier convert the alternating current to one directional Direct current. It work as short circuit on the case of forward biasing and work as open circuit on the reverse biasing so it can work only in one direction.
Why capacitor is used in circuit board?
use as coupling in some circuts and and as a filter in rectifier circuit. use as DC current blocking.
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
How do you determine the size of acapacitor in a rectifier circuit?
ANSWER In rectifiers for power supplies, the capacitor size is determined by the allowable ripple on the output. This can be determined by the rate at which the capacitor is drained. Specifically, this rate is the current drawn from the capacitor. Assume a half wave rectifier made from four diodes. For part of the cycle, the output current is supplied by the rectifier diode. This is also when the capacitor is charged. While the rectifier is not supplying current -- when the input waveform has dropped below the output voltage -- the capacitor must supply the current. Then, as the input waveform rises above the capacitor voltage, the rectifier supplies the current to charge the capacitor and the output circuit.
Why full eave rectifier rectifies negative half cycle?
the rectifier is Mainly used to convert the Ac current into DC current .In rectifier there are two diodes or (4 Diode In full wave bridge rectifier )are use is to conduct the current one is connected in forward bias(i.eD1) and the other is connected in reveres bias(i.eD2). As we know that the diode is conduct the current throw it When it is connected in forward bias . now when the voltage is applied to the circuit the the AC Current is start to flow throw circuit and in Positive half cycle of Ac current the Diode is Allow the current Pass throw it and during the Negative half cycle the Diode D2 is allow the current pass throw it and in these way the rectifier rectifies positive As Well As the negative half cycle
What is a silicon-controlled rectifier?
A silicon-controlled rectifier is a semiconductor device that is used as a switch in an electrical circuit. It's a solid state direct current (DC) electronic switch. There is a ton of information including a detailed description of the SCR and a list of applications at the Wikipedia article. A link is posted below.
What does the out put wave form looks in a rectifier?
A rectifier allows current to flow only in one direction. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, an input wave which oscillates between positive and negative, will 'pass through' the positive portion of the wave, and when the input is negative will output zero. A full-wave rectifier circuit, is commonly configured with 4 rectifier diodes, which allow a positive wave to output when the input wave is negative.
