Best Answer

When alternating current of any frequency is fully rectified, both halves of the wave are converted to direct current and utilized. Half-wave rectification is when half of the wave is ignored. So the main characteristic that is changed is the shape of wave by flipping half the wave over to the same side as the rest. But it does not flatten the peaks on the wave without additional filtering.

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 .


How does a half wave rectified sine wave sound like?

It's hard to define a sound, but here's a try: A half-wave rectified sine sounds harsh and whiney. Not as sharp and jagged as a square wave, but not nearly as pure and smooth as a sine. The key is to realize that the half-wave rectified sine is a sine plus a significant load of harmonics, and wherever there is a lot of harmonic energy, we call it "total harmonic distortion". So the bottom line is, anything that isn't a pure sine, you would say it sounds "distorted".
