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.


What are the advantages and dis advantage of full-wave bridge rectifier compared with two diodes rectifier?

in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.


Why a full wave rectifier is preferred over a half wave rectifier?

The a.c. component, or ripple, produced by the 4-diode (full wave) bridge rectifier is the same as that produced by the 2-diode full wave rectifier. The bridge is connected across the secondary winding of a transformer. The 2 diodes of the other type of full wave rectifier are each connected to one end of a winding, but that winding requires a center tap. For any desired value of d.c. after rectification, the a.c. voltage of the 2-diode rectifier winding has to be twice that of the winding required for the bridge.


Which harmonics is present in full bridge rectifire?

Since the output of the rectifier is a close approximation of a sawtooth waveform, then all harmonics starting at the second harmonic are present in the full wave bridge rectifier output.


What is the basic difference between a full wave bridge rectifier and a full wave center tapped rectifier?

A full-wave bridge rectifier with 4 diodes gives a dc output voltage equal to the average voltage of the whole transformer secondary. A FW rectifier with 2 diodes and a centre-tapped secondary gives an output voltage equal to the average voltage of half the secondary. If you have a 12-0-12 transformer, the bridge gives a 24 v output, while the 2-diode FW rectifier gives 12 v (approximately).

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.


What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?

They both have the same current.


What is the effect of inductive load on a single phase full wave bridge rectifier?

rectifier is used to resist the current likewise in bridge wave rectifier ,the inductive load is used to resist high amount of current because in bridge wave we cannot resist the current by using rectifier ..so we are using inductive load here

Types of rectifier?

There are basically two types of rectifiers one is the half wave rectifier and the other is the full wave rectifies. The full wave rectifier is further classified into two types namely the bridge rectifier and the center tapped rectifier.There are also silicon controlled rectifiers nowadays.
