What is half wave rectifier?,Diode,Types of Rectifiers,Working Principle of Rectifier.Efficiency of Half wave rectifier.
Diode Diode is a semiconductor device having two terminals typically allowing the flow of current in one direction only.One important application of diode is in rectifier circuits.Rectifiers converts cheaply available mains(ac) power supply voltage in a dc power supply.Electronic circuits such as television,receivers,radio and many more need a dc power supply. Rectifiers We have main three types of rectifier circuits. Half wave rectifier circuits. Full wave bridge rectifier circuit. Full wave rectifier with center tapped transformer. Half Wave rectified fig. A basic half wave rectifier circuit is show in the diagram in which ...
