Here is the short explanation of transformer:

To understand full wave transformer, firstly, we need to understand what transformer is. What is Frequency?įrequency is the time required for completing one cycle (one cycle is completed when the wave start from zero and again reach to the zero) The output frequency will be same as the input frequency and the peak input voltage and peak output voltage will be also same. However, this cycle of diode’s changing bias will continuously run and this is how half wave rectifier will clip the negative part of the input and give the DC output. See the input signal waveform which is AC.įor the positive half cycle, the PN junction diode will be in forward bias then current will pass through the circuit and we can see DC output across the load resister.įor the negative half cycle, the PN junction diode will be in reverse bias so, If we consider it an ideal diode then the current will not pass through it in reverse bias condition. firstly, one PN junction diode and secondly, one load resister. The circuit has an alternative voltage source. However, Look at the input waveform and output waveform. so which allows the current to flow in only one direction. As show in above diagram, half wave rectifier have one PN junction diode. Half Wave Rectifier input and output waveform of half wave rectifier | image: en. Diode has zero resistance in one direction and infinity resistance in the other direction, so it act like short circuit in one direction and open circuit in other direction. What is a diode?ĭiode is a semiconductordevice with two terminal, which allows the current to flow in only one direction. Rectifier is a device which contain one or more diodes and converts the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).
