THEORY:
A rectifier is a circuit that converts a pure AC signal into a pulsating DC signal or a
signal that is a combination of AC and DC components.

A half wave rectifier makes use of single diode to carry out this conversion. It is named so
as the conversion occurs for half input signal cycle. During the positive half cycle, the
diode is forward biased and it conducts and hence a current flow through the load
resistor. During the negative half cycle, the diode is reverse biased and it is equivalent
to an open circuit, hence the
current through the load resistance is zero. Thus, the diode conducts only for one half
cycle and results in a half wave rectified output.

A full wave rectifier makes use of two diodes to carry out this conversion. It is namedso
as the conversion occurs for complete input signal cycle. The full-wave rectifier consists
of a center-tap transformer, which results in equal voltages above and below the center-
tap. During the positive half cycle, a positive voltage appears at the anode of D1 while a
negative voltage appears at the anode of D2. Due to this diode D1 is forward biased it
results in a current Id1 through the load R. During the negative half cycle, a positive
voltage appears at the anode of D2 and hence it is forward biased. Resulting in a current
Id2 through the load at the same instant a negative voltage appears at the anode of D1
thus reverse biasing it and hence it doesn’t conduct.
