The effect of an RL circuit in half wave rectifier is that the voltage output wave forms for current and voltage will be modified .
A full-wave rectifier (sometimes called a "bridge" rectifier) produces output current on both half-cycles of the input AC waveform. ******************************************** There are two types of full wave rectifier circuit. One uses four diodes in a "bridge"configuration and is fed from a simple transformer winding. The other uses two diodes and needs to be fed from a centre tapped transformer winding.
A half wave rectifier is not as effective as a full wave rectifier. With a 1/2 wave, you are throwing away one hump of the sine wave...either positive or negative portion. With a full wave rectifier you get both humps...either positive or negative. The resultant effective voltage is much greater with a full wave rectifier, because there is very little time when the voltage is zero. The half wave is zero for 1/2 of the cycle.
The relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a half-wave rectifier is one-to-one.(For full-wave, its one-to-two.)The shape won't be the same, as the rectifier will only pass alternate half-cycles, but the apparent frequency will be the same.
A full-wave rectifier will provide an output through both the positive and negative halves of the AC sine wave. The half-wave rectifier will only provide an output for half the cycle. The filtered outputs of both rectifiers can be "smoothed" well, but the higher the load on the half-wave rectifier, the more the output voltage will vary across a cycle of input power. This results in higher ripple and makes regulation a bit more difficult. The full-wave rectifier will provide an output through both the positive and negative halves of the sine wave. It effectively "inverts" the negative half of the cycle and provides two "pulses" of power per cycle as opposed to one pulse per cycle for the half-wave rectifier. The full-wave rectifier might use a pair of diodes and a center tapped transformer, or might use four diodes in a full wave bridge configuration and a transformer with no center tap.
A half wave rectifier does not make a stable voltage. A single phase half wave creates a "bumpy road" where voltage modulates between sine wave maximum and zero. A three phase half wave will create a more stable, but ultimately "unclean", voltage.
what is the function of transformer in the half wave rectifier circuit
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.
Just one diode.
A rectifier allows current to flow only in one direction. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, an input wave which oscillates between positive and negative, will 'pass through' the positive portion of the wave, and when the input is negative will output zero. A full-wave rectifier circuit, is commonly configured with 4 rectifier diodes, which allow a positive wave to output when the input wave is negative.
halfwave rectifier converts ac to pulsating dc.in half wave rectifier we use only one diode.during forward bias condition the circuit is open and hence conducts hence we get +ve half cycles where in reverse bias condition the circuit is open and hence doesn't conducts.
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.
Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
A clipper can act as a half wave rectifier but it might be a little hard.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
They both have the same current.
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.
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.
