Rectifier:
A rectifier is a circuit that is used for converting AC supply into
unidirectional DC supply.
The
advantages of a full wave rectifier over a half wave rectifier are -
(i)
The
average (DC) output voltage is higher than for half wave.
(ii)
The
output of the full wave rectifier has much less ripple that of the half wave
rectifier producing a smoother output waveform.
(iii)
The
advantage of full-wave Rectifier over a half wave rectifier is the Ripple
factor.
(iv)
The rectification efficiency of full-wave rectifier is double of that of a
half-wave rectifier.
(v)
The full-wave rectifier conducts on every half cycle, whereas the half-wave
rectifier conducts on every other half cycle.
(vi)
It
doubles the ripple frequency, making filtering easier.
