What are the Rectifiers ?

Rectifiers :-

All electronic devices requires d.c. power supply for their operations. But domestic power supply (Household power supply) is in a.c. form. So it requires to convert into d.c. form. Therefore the device which converts a.c. voltage into d.c. voltage is called as Rectifier.  

          In fact rectifier produce unidirectional and pulsating voltage from a.c. source.

  • There are two types of rectifiers

1.    Half wave rectifiers

2.    Full wave rectifiers   

A.C. voltage : The voltage whose magnitude and direction of flow is  changed at every time.

D.C. Voltage : The voltage whose magnitude and direction of flow is constant  at every time.
