What is the working principle of halfwave rectifier?
Where a single diode is used as a rectifier you get halfwave rectification when the sinus wave is going positive the diode will conduct but in the negative half of the cycle it will block the current flow so the result wave form will be only the positive half that will be available for half the period of the cycle the other half will be 0 Volt
What happens to the load if reverse the polarity of diode?
if you reverse the diode in a half wave rectifier, you would expect the A- Ripple to increase B- output to be less filtered C- out put polarity to be reversed D- output voltage to decrease
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
What is the difference between rectifier diode and zener diode?
A: They are both diodes. The difference lies in the application. A rectifier is used to rectify AC current into pulsating current. The zener diode is used to regulate a voltage source to the zener voltage when connected in the reverse direction. ************************************************************** If you look at the characteristic curves of a rectifier diode and a zener diode, you will see that they are similar, but the reverse curve of the zener has a much sharper bend at what is called the "knee". It is at this point on the zener's curve at which it operates.
What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.

Why silicon controlled rectifier doesn't work in reverse biased condition?
Because when reverse biased it behaves like any other rectifier/diode.

What happens when a diode goes bad?
how can u tell if the rectifier is bad on a 2001 suzuki intruder 1500lc
What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
Can diode be used as rectifier?
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
Can zener diode used as rectifier?
Yes **************************************** Yes they can but there are pitfalls. A normal diode will have a high reverse breakdown voltage. A zener has a relatively low breakdown voltage (its "zener"voltage). If a zener diode is used as a rectifier it must have a zener voltage at least twice the peak of the applied a.c.
Why tunnel diode differ from the rectifier diode?
tunnel diodethe doping level of the tunnel diode is high when compared with the rectifier diodeit exhibits negative resistancerectifier diodethe doping level of rectifier diode is low when compared with the tunnel diode
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.
