What is the primary purpose of rectification in electronic circuits?
to convert DC to AC
to amplify AC signals
to convert AC to DC
to filter out noise
|
During half-wave rectification, what happens to the diode during negative input cycles?
it allows current to flow
it remains forward biased
it becomes reverse biased
it generates a pulsed DC waveform
|
How many diodes are used in a full-wave bridge rectifier?
1
3
4
2
|
Which type of rectification delivers higher average DC output?
half-wave rectification
both deliver equal DC output
it depends on the input voltage
full-wave rectification
|
What is the main advantage of full-wave rectification over half-wave rectification?
it requires fewer components
it is less efficient
it generates less ripple in the output
it has a lower average DC output
|
Which statement best describes the current flow in a full-wave bridge rectifier?
current always flows in the same direction across the load
current only flows during negative input cycles
current only flows during positive input cycles
current alternates direction across the load
|
Which type of rectification is more efficient in terms of power delivery?
half-wave rectification
both are equally efficient
efficiency depends on the input frequency
full-wave rectification
|
What is the term for the process of converting AC to DC?
|
Explain the working principle of half-wave rectification.
