Rectifier types,application, use.

Question

Accepted Answer

Rectifiers convert AC to DC. Types include half-wave, full-wave, bridge, and center-tap. Used in power supplies and electronics.

Rectifiers are electronic devices that convert AC to DC.
Half-wave rectifiers only allow half of the AC waveform to pass through, resulting in a pulsating DC output.
Full-wave rectifiers allow both halves of the AC waveform to be used, resulting in a smoother DC output.
Bridge rectifiers use four diodes to convert AC to DC.
Center-tap rectifiers use a center-tapped transformer to convert AC to DC.
Rectifiers are used in power supplies, battery chargers, and other electronics.
Examples of rectifiers include the 1N4001 and 1N5408 diodes.
