What is rectification with relevant circuit diagram and waveform explain the working of p-n junction dioide as full wave rectifier

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Full wave rectification : The process in which both the halves of a.c are reactified to obtain a pulsating direct current is known as full wave rectification .
A transformer with a centre tap is used for a full wave rectification . INput contains ac. A minimum of two diodes are used at the secondart of the transformer . A load resistor is connected between the juction of the N type semiconductor between the juction of the N type semiconductor and the centre tap.
During the first half cycle , diode `D _(1)` will be forward biased and `D_(2)` will be reverse so that the current flows from B to centre tap .

During the second half cycle , diode , `D_(2)` will be forward biased while `D_(1)` will be reverse biased .
The current once again takes the same direction from B to centre tap. the I/P and the O/P waveforms are shown in fig . The average DC is `2((V_P)/(pi )).`
