is a device that smoothen your half-wave rectification into a full-wave rectification after using a 4 diode and 1 resistor , after adding a capacitor , there will be a almost steady output , it charges the capacitor when is forward biased which is the first half wave , and discharge when is reverse biased to stablelize the wave into a almost same potential difference compare to a.c

Including a full-wave rectifier in an ac circuit will yield a n---- current?

With the rectifier alone, the result is d.c. but with a voltage ripple caused by the rectifier diodes not being absolute in action. The rectifier needs following with a smoothing circuit, a suitable capacitor at its simplest, to remove the ripple.

How do you determine the size of acapacitor in a rectifier circuit?

ANSWER In rectifiers for power supplies, the capacitor size is determined by the allowable ripple on the output. This can be determined by the rate at which the capacitor is drained. Specifically, this rate is the current drawn from the capacitor. Assume a half wave rectifier made from four diodes. For part of the cycle, the output current is supplied by the rectifier diode. This is also when the capacitor is charged. While the rectifier is not supplying current -- when the input waveform has dropped below the output voltage -- the capacitor must supply the current. Then, as the input waveform rises above the capacitor voltage, the rectifier supplies the current to charge the capacitor and the output circuit.

How does a capacitor ladder function in electronic circuits?

A capacitor ladder in electronic circuits functions by storing and releasing electrical energy in a controlled manner. It consists of multiple capacitors connected in series and parallel to filter and regulate the flow of current in the circuit. This helps in smoothing out voltage fluctuations and improving the overall performance of the circuit.


How does the presence of a capacitor in parallel with a battery affect the overall circuit performance?

When a capacitor is connected in parallel with a battery in a circuit, it can store and release electrical energy. This can affect the overall performance by smoothing out voltage fluctuations, filtering out noise, and improving the stability of the circuit.
