A transformer is basically used to step up or step down the main power supply. The rectifier is used to convert an alternating current (AC) or voltage to direct current (DC) or voltage.

Does temperature difference affect heat transfer rate?

Yes, temperature difference does affect heat transfer rate. The greater the temperature difference between two objects, the faster heat will transfer between them. This is described by Newton's Law of Cooling, where the rate of heat transfer is directly proportional to the temperature difference.


What happens to the rate pf energy transfer between an object and its surroundings if the temperature difference between them is reduced?

If the temperature difference between an object and its surroundings is reduced, the rate of energy transfer between them will also decrease. This is because the driving force for heat transfer is smaller when the temperature difference is smaller.

What is the difference between bank transfer and wire transfer?

A wire transfer is from one bank to another. A bank transfer is a transfer from one account to another at the same bank.


What are transfer characteristics of rectifier?

Transfer Characteristic basically is relation between output and input of a electronic circuit. So in case of a series circuit in which a diode and a resistor are in series and the output voltage (Vo) is being measured accross resistor the relation between Input voltage (Vi) and Output voltage (Vo) will be Vo=Vi. When the we will represent it graphically we will get a straight line graph.

What is the difference between a one diode rectifier and a two diode rectifier?

A one diode rectifier is called a half wave rectifier and only allows current flow for the positive portion of the sine wave. A two diode rectifier, or full wave rectifier allows positive current flow during the positive portion of the wave as well as positive current flow during the negative portion of the sine wave. This results in a much cleaner DC power signal. The addition of a capacitor in the output circuit will clean up the signal very nicely.


What is the difference between controlled and uncontrolled rectifier?

A simple rectifier is a diode. It only has two terminals and will only allow electron flow in one direction only. A controlled rectifier (SCR=silicon controlled rectifier) has a third connection (gate). Which as the name suggests, is a gate that controls at which point the rectifier will work. It therefore has a level of control.There are various types and you would need the application specification, to get the best use of them.


What is the main difference between a bridge rectifier and a full wave rectifier?

Both the bridge rectifier and the full-wave rectifier achieve the same thing. They rectify the AC input on both opposing phases so as to minimize ripple time and voltage. The difference is that a bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge, so the input needs to only be single phase AC, while a full wave rectifier consists of two diodes, but needs a split phase AC source, such as provided by a center tapped transformer winding. Also, the bridge rectifier presents two junction drops in the output, because there are always two diodes in series, while the full-wave rectifier presents only one junction drop in the output, because there is only one. It is a trade-off.
