As states half wave will rectify only either positive or negative of a full wave. full wave will rectify positive and negative making it full wave rectification.

What is the length of full wave?

The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".


What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?

An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.


Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.


Which provide more power and why full wave or half wave rectification?

full wave rectifier, because in half wave rectifier only one p-n junction diode Ans 2. In full wave rectifier both negative & positive cycles are rectified , but , in half wave rectifier only the positive or the negative cycle is rectified . That's why full wave rectifier provides more power .

What is the Difference between half wave and full wave rectifiers?

Half-wave rectification is achieved using a single diode in a one phase supply, or by using three diodes in a three phase supply. In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed and the other half is blocked. Since only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is very inefficient if used for power transfer. A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to DC (direct current), and is more efficient.


What happen when full wave bridgerectifier is incomplete?

The output degrades to half-wave rectification.


What is the advantages of halt wave rectifier over full wave rectifier?

Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.


What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.


How many diodes are used to make a half wave rectifier?

You use a half-wave rectifier where the system design does not require a full-wave approach. Half wave rectifier output is used for running ac motors.


What are the disadvantages of full-wave transformoer over half-wave transformaer?

well the transformer is always full wave half wave refers to the one diode on the output for dc other than spending less for diodes there are no disadvantages to full wave diodes are a LOT cheaper than capacitors if you need clean dc if youre buying wall warts get the full wave if it costs the same
