    This document describes the components and working of a full wave rectifier circuit. A full wave rectifier uses a center-tapped transformer, two diodes, an AC source, and a resistor to convert an AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage using both half cycles of the applied AC voltage. During the positive half cycle, one diode conducts while the other is reverse biased. During the negative half cycle, the conduction and reverse biased diodes switch so that both halves of the AC cycle are used.

    Draw the schematic diagram using Ms-Visio / Circuit Maker or Electronic

    The example of full wave rectifier is illustrated below:
    FULL WAVE RECTIFIER :
    A Full Wave Rectifier is a circuit, which converts an ac voltage into a pulsating dc
    voltage using both half cycles of the applied ac voltage. It uses two diodes of which one
    conducts during one half cycle while the other conducts during the other half cycle of the
    applied ac voltage.
    COMPONENTS:
    Centre-tapped Transformer.
    Two diodes
    Ac source
    Resistor
    WORKING:
    During the positive half cycle of the input voltage, diode D1 becomes forward biased
    and D2 becomes reverse biased. Hence D1 conducts and D2 remains OFF. The load current
    flows through D1 and the voltage drop across R L will be equal to the input voltage.
    During the negative half cycle of the input voltage, diode D1 becomes reverse biased
    and D2 becomes forward biased. Hence D1 remains OFF and D2 conducts. The load current
    flows through D2 and the voltage drop across R L will be equal to the input voltage.
