It's an electronic component used to turn AC into DC. But it'won't be pure DC w/o some further processing. It is basically a semiconductor meaning will pass current one way only. Electrons will flow from positive to negative. Therefore Direct Current or DC as opposed to AC alternating current meaning positive and negative current flow. there is no such a thing as pure DC by adding a capacitor it can approach pure DC but mathematically speaking it is impossible to achieve.

Which rectifier is not directly operated from mains?
Because , the high voltage can destroy the diodes used in the rectifier .
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
How many diodes in full wave rectifier?
Depends on the number of phases.single phase uses 4 diodesthree phase uses 6 diodes
What happens if one of the four diodes in s bridge rectifier is reverse?
four diodes
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.
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
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.
Why to use four diodes when two diodes also can serve the purpose in bridge rectifier?
Four diode rectifier not require a center tapped transformer.
Which rectifier is not directly operated from mains?
Because , the high voltage can destroy the diodes used in the rectifier .
What are the applicaton of diodes?
Diodes can be used in the following domains:In rectifier circuitsin display circuitsas switches

What is the typical bulk resistance of rectifier diodes?
101902kb ohm
Is transistor a rectifier?
there are two diodes there but to use them as rectifiers never
