What is rectification and rectifier?
(N/A) Rectification is the process of converting an alternating current $(AC)$ into a direct current $(DC)$.
$A$ rectifier is an electrical device that performs the process of rectification.
It typically uses one or more $p-n$ junction diodes,which allow current to flow in only one direction,thereby blocking the reverse half-cycle of the $AC$ input.

View SolutionIn a full-wave $P-N$ junction diode rectifier, a load resistance of $1500 \ \Omega$ is used. No filter is used. Assume each diode has a forward resistance $R_f = 10 \ \Omega$ and reverse resistance $R_r = \infty$. When a sinusoidal voltage with a peak amplitude of $30 \ V$ and frequency $50 \ Hz$ is applied, calculate the $D.C.$ power output and $A.C.$ power input respectively.
