What is a Full wave Bridge rectifier: A full-wave Bridge rectifier circuit converts AC into DC and it is designed by using four diodes, It doesn't require a Center-tapped secondary winding transformer. Unlike a half-wave rectifier, A full-wave rectifier converts both half cycles of input AC voltage. Hence, the average or DC value of the output signal is more than a half-wave rectifier. Types of Full-wave rectifier circuits: 1) Center tapped full wave rectifier 2) Full-wave bridge rectifier The output of a Full-wave Bridge rectifier is pulsating DC. The ripple in the output waveform can be reduced using the filter. To remove or reduce the ripple from the output waveform, the RC time constant of the filter circuit should be much larger than the time period of the Full-wave rectifier. Parameters of the Full-wave Bridge rectifier: Average Value: 2Vm / π RMS Value: Vm/√2 Ripple Factor: 0.48 Efficiency: 81.2 % PIV: Vm Output Frequency: 2f The link for the other useful videos: 1) Full-wave (Center-tapped) Rectifier https://youtu.be/mVzN_twa_z0 2) Half wave Rectifier https://youtu.be/HV2NCmopMIw 3) Alternating current and Direct current https://youtu.be/FcctByi_0ZE 4) PN Junction Diode https://youtu.be/o-Rya9KZYY4 5) Semiconductors (P-type and N-type) https://youtu.be/6dUpV2ovqog 6) Ohm's Law https://youtu.be/SvW7fo38qAk 7) Current, Voltage, and Power https://youtu.be/ZXeyNsZ46oU This video will be helpful to all students of science and engineering in understanding the Half-wave rectifier. #Full-wave bridge rectifier #Working of Full-wave bridge rectifier #Full-wave bridge rectifier circuit #Parameters of Full-wave bridge rectifier #Full-wave bridge rectifier formulas #Average value of Full-wave bridge rectifier #RMS value of Full-wave bridge rectifier #PIV of Full-wave bridge rectifier #Efficiency of Full-wave bridge rectifier #Full-wave rectifier #Full wave bridge rectifier with filter circuit #Full-wave rectifier with filter circuit #Capacitor filter Please SUBSCRIBE my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/ElectronicsAD​ Music Credit: http://www.bensound.com/​​​​ "Keep Learning and Keep Growing".
