ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
• I would like to take this opportunity
to express my special gratitude to my
Physics teacher Mr. Anil Gupta who gave
me the golden opportunity to do this
Physics project on the topic Diode
• Full-Wave Rectifier
• A full-wave rectifier diode circuit builds with four
diodes, by this structure we can make both halves of
the waves positive. For both positive and negative
cycles of the input, there is a forward path through
the diode bridge..
• While two of the diodes are forward biased, the other
two are reverse biased and effectively eliminated
from the circuit. Both conduction paths cause current
to flow in the same direction through the load resistor,
accomplishing full-wave rectification.
• The Full-wave rectifiers are used in power supplies to
convert AC voltages to DC voltages. A large capacitor
in parallel with the output load resistor reduces the
ripple from the rectification process. The below figure
shows the full-wave rectifier diode circuit.

• Applications Of Diode Rectifiers
• The rectifier diodes have many
applications. Here are a few of the typical
applications of diodes include:
• Rectifying a voltage, such as turning the
AC into DC voltages
• Isolating signals from a supply
• Voltage Reference
• Controlling the size of a signal
• Mixing signals
• Detection signals
• Lighting systems
