What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?

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.


How many diodes are used to make a half wave rectifier?

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.


What is the importance of ripple factor?

Ripple factor ripple factor is very important in deciding the efficiency of the rectifier .ripple factor give the total power converted AC input to the DC output. Ideal ripple factor should be zero and power factor 1. Ripple factor of half wave rectifier 1.21 and full wave rectifier is 0.48.

Why full wave rectifier is preffered over half wave rectifier?

Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.


Can clipper act as a half wave rectifier?

A clipper can act as a half wave rectifier but it might be a little hard.


What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.


What is ripple factor of the Full-wave rectifier?

The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482


What is the lowest ripple frequency of half wave rectifier?

The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.


What is the advantages of halt wave rectifier over full wave rectifier?

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.
