    This document discusses different types of rectifiers used to convert alternating current to direct current. It describes half wave rectifiers which only use one half of the AC wave, full wave rectifiers which use both halves but require two diodes, and bridge rectifiers which use a four diode bridge configuration to achieve full wave rectification. Examples of applications that use rectifiers include DC power supplies, radio receivers, household appliances, and high-voltage DC transmission systems. The goal of rectification is to convert the alternating polarity of an AC signal to a direct polarity DC output.

    Half wave rectifier

    In

    half

    wave

    rectification,

    either

    the

    positive or negative half of the AC wave is


    passed, while the other half is blocked.

    Because

    only

    one

    half

    of

    the

    input

    waveform reaches the output, it is very


    inefficient if used for power transfer.

    Half wave rectification

    The half-wave rectifier circuit using a


    semiconductor diode (D) with a load resistance
    R but no smoothing filter is given in figure. The
    diode is connected in series with the
    secondary of
    the transformer and the load resistance R The
    primary of the transformer is being connected
    to
    the ac supply mains.

    full wave rectifier

    A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input


    waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or
    negative) at its output.

    Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of


    the input waveform to DC (direct current), and is
    more efficient.0

    Full wave rectifier working animation

    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

    Bridge rectifier

    A bridge rectifier makes use of four diodes


    in a bridge arrangement to achieve fullwave rectification.

    Ues of rectifier
    A rectifier is an electrical device composed of
    one or more diodes that converts alternating
    current (AC) to direct current (DC). A diode is
    like a one-way valve that allows an electrical
    current to flow in only one direction. This
    process is called rectification.
    A rectifier can take the shape of several
    different physical forms such as solid-state
    diodes, vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc
    valves, silicon-controlled rectifiers and various
    other silicon-based semiconductor switches.

    Rectifiers are used in various devices, including:

    DC power supplies
    Radio signals or detectors
    A source of power instead of generating current
    As flame rectification to detect the presence of
    flame
    High-voltage direct current power transmission
    systems
    Several household appliances use power
    rectifiers to create power, like notebooks or
    laptops, video game systems and televisions
