What is the peak value of the input to a half wave rectifier if the half wave rectifier is 10V?

In this case, the peak voltage, which is half the peak to peak voltage, is 100 volts. Additionally, the half-wave rectifier will only provide an output for half the input cycle. In the case of a full wave rectifier, the RMS output voltage would be about 0.707 times the value of the peak voltage (100 volts), which would be about 70.7 volts. But with the output operating only half the time (because of the half wave rectification), the average output voltage will be half the 70.7 volts, or about 35.35 volts RMS.


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).


What are the diff types of rectifier?

What is advantage of precision full wave rectifier over precision half wave rectifier?

What is a rectifier circuit?

The Rectifier is an electronic device, which converts an AC waveform(Usually a Bi-directional waveform with Zero Average value) to a Pulsating DC waveform (Uni-directional waveform with Nonzero Average value). As AC wave (Sinusoidal) has two half cycles, namely - Positive Half cycle & Negative Half cycle If a Rectifier does it's operation only in one half of the cycles, it is known as Half Wave Rectifier. Similarly, If a Rectifier does it's operation in both the half cycles, it is known as Full Wave Rectifier.

Chubb and fortescue method for HV AC mesurement?

This is a device of High Voltage (HV) Alternating Current (AC) measurement. Connect the HV AC source through a capacitor to either a full or half rectifier. In comparison to the HV the diodes in the rectifier can be concerted ideal. Under the rectifier connect an ammeter. The formula is V p-p = Iave/(2FC) for a half rectifier and V p-p = Iave/(4FC) for a full rectifier. Where V p-p is the peak to peak voltage, Iave is the average current, F is the frequency of the AC and C is the capacitor used.
