Draw the circuit diagram of half wave rectifier and bridge wave rectifier ? How can convert ac voltage to dc

Question

Accepted Answer

A half wave rectifier and a bridge wave rectifier are used to convert AC voltage to DC.

A half wave rectifier uses a diode to allow only the positive half of the AC waveform to pass through, resulting in a pulsating DC output.
A bridge wave rectifier uses four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration to convert both the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform into DC.
To convert AC voltage to DC, the rectifier circuit allows the flow of current in only one direction by using diodes.
The AC voltage is applied to the input of the rectifier circuit, and the output is a pulsating DC voltage.
To obtain a smoother DC output, a filter capacitor is often connected across the output of the rectifier circuit.
