Why diode rectifiers are called as uncontrolled rectifiers?
Diode rectifiers are called uncontrolled rectifiers because they rely on the natural conduction properties of diodes, which allow current to flow only in one direction without any external control mechanism. Once the input voltage exceeds the diode's forward voltage threshold, the diode conducts and rectifies the AC signal into DC. This behavior is inherently passive, as the diode does not require any active components or control signals to operate, making it "uncontrolled" compared to other rectification methods, such as those using thyristors or transistors.
What is the difference between limiting and clamping circuit?
A diode-clipping circuit is used to skip some portion of the signal (e.g. the half way/full way rectifiers rectify the '-ve' or '+ve' part of the signal). A diode-clamping circuit is used to add some signals to the original signal.
What are the applications of precision rectifiers?
Precision rectifiers are used in the design of instrumentation systems.
Why not stepup transformer is not used in rectifiers?
Rectifiers turn A/C into D/C, but transformers can only run on A/C.
Why are silicon diodes not suited for low voltage rectifiers?
Silicon diodes ARE used in reverse bias. This is the mode in which they do not conduct, which is the principal role of a diode. When forward biased, a silicon diode will conduct but has a voltage drop of around 0.6v so is not useful for rectifying small voltages (unless used as a perfect diode with an op amp).
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.

What is the use of PN diode?
there are many uses. one major use i remember is in rectification i.e convert ac to dc For switch operation
WHAT IS rectifiers 1N4007?
The 1N4007 is a diode with forward current rating of 1 ampere, and a reverse voltage rating of 1,000 volts.

Function of diode?
While there are many other uses for diodes, they are used mainly as rectifiers. Their ability to conduct electric current in only one direction allows them to be used to convert (rectify) alternating current to direct current.
What are the applications of precision rectifiers?
Precision rectifiers are used in the design of instrumentation systems.
Is fans used in rectifiers?
no
Why diode is small in size?
This fundamental item in electronics is very simple, and most do not need a large size. But mercury arc rectifiers occupy a good part of a m^3. Thyristor rectifiers as used on HVDC grids, where the voltage may be +/- 250kV, and the power many MW, need some space to dissipate their heat.
How is AC converted to DC and does it change the power an item would have?
you basically use rectifiers..like zener diode rectifier and full bridge rectifier..
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Why not stepup transformer is not used in rectifiers?
Rectifiers turn A/C into D/C, but transformers can only run on A/C.
