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
