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.
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
The circuit diagram of a full wave rectifies:
A centre tap transformer and two identical dividesD 1 and D 2 are used to diagram a full wave rectifies. The centre-tap transformer has 3 output terminals. Centre tap is C is always at OV .
Drawing positive half cycle ofAC , A is +ve and B is − v e . For negative half cycle, B is + ve and A is - ve. So, when positive half cycle appears, A is +ve, B is − v e and c is O .
So, divideD 1 is forward biased and divide D 2 is reverse biased.
When negative half cycle appears,
A is -ve, B is + Ve and C is O
So, divideD 2 is forward biased and divide D 1 is reverse biased.
So, for each half cycle one divide conducts current throughR L flows unidirectionally. Hence the voltage developed across R L is a DC.
