Question : 9 of 13
Marks: +1, -0
With the help of a circuit diagram, explain how a full wave rectifier gives output rectified voltage corresponding to both halves of the input ac voltage.
The circuit diagram of a full wave rectifies:
A centre tap transformer and two identical divides D1D_1 and D2D_2 are used to diagram a full wave rectifies. The centre-tap transformer has 3 output terminals. Centre tap is CC is always at OV\text{OV}.
Drawing positive half cycle of AC,A\text{AC}, A is +ve and BB is −ve-v e. For negative half cycle, B is + ve and A is - ve. So, when positive half cycle appears, A is +ve, B is −ve-v e and cc is OO.
So, divide D1D_1 is forward biased and divide D2D_2 is reverse biased.
When negative half cycle appears,
AA is -ve, BB is + Ve and CC is OO
So, divide D2D_2 is forward biased and divide D1D_1 is reverse biased.
So, for each half cycle one divide conducts current through RLR_{L} flows unidirectionally. Hence the voltage developed across RLR_L is a DC.
