Full wave rectifier

For the given circult shown in fig to act as full wave rectifer , the ac input should be connected across …… and ……. And the d. c output would supplied across …….. And ……….

Show by drawing labelled diagrams, the nature of output voltages in case of : (i) A half wave rectifier (ii) A full wave rectifier (In each case, input is an a.c. voltage) Circuit diagrams of these devices are not required.

In the figure, the input is across the terminals A and C and the output is across B and D. Then the output is (a ) zero ( b) same as the input ( c) full - wave rectified (d) half - wave rectified .

In a half wave rectifier, the current flows
