If you actually mean rectifier (rather than regulator), then you can determine if it is performing its base function of converting alternating current to direct current by using a voltmeter. If the rectifier is functioning, you should read a percentage (which depends upon whether it is a half-wave or full-wave rectifier) of the AC peak input value on the DC range of a voltmeter. Using an oscilloscope, you can clearly view the half-wave or full-wave unidirectional (positive or negative only) pulses produced at the output of the rectifier. If the rectifier is blown and is conducting in both directions you will see nothing on a DC voltmeter range (the average value of an AC waveform is zero), and on an oscilloscope you will see the full peak-to-peak AC input waveform at its output.

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 device is also called a rectifier?
A rectifier is an electronic device that changes an AC voltage to a DC voltage.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier
Which rectifier is not directly operated from mains?
Because , the high voltage can destroy the diodes used in the rectifier .
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.

Why an op-amp diode rectifier called as a precision rectifier?
In a rectifier made of just diodes, the diodes have a voltage drop, resulting in a lower DC output voltage. By introducing an Op-amp, this voltage drop can be overcome. Since there is no voltage drop caused by the diodes, the rectified signal is not changed by the rectifier, so it is called a precision rectifier.

What is tha purpose of a rectifier assembly?
Are you referring to the Rectifier in the Alternator? Simply, a rectifier turns the AC voltage produced my the alternator to run the electrical components in your vehicle and turns it into DC voltage to recharge your battery.The purpose of rectifier assembly is to turn the AC voltage. This is in a car.
Where is the voltage rectifier on a 1985 Suzuki Gs300 L?
The voltage rectifier is on the left side of the motorcycle just in front of the rear tire.
How the capacitor removes the ripples from the rectified voltage?
During the AC cycle, the capacitor charges when the rectifier conducts, and maintains the voltage when the rectifier is not conducting.
Which rectifier is not directly operated from mains?
Because , the high voltage can destroy the diodes used in the rectifier .
Can use rectifier in high voltage?
Sure, as long as it's rated for that voltage.
How do you test a rectifier for Harley Davidson motorcycle?
check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator. Buy a manual!
What is voltage regulation of a rectifier?
A: actually a full wave rectifier does not regulate. It will however follow the input minus diodes voltage drops. depending on current it is assumed to be .6 to .7 volts for silicon diodes.
