FULL WAVE

RECTIFIER
INTRODUCTION

The process of converting


alternating current (AC) into
pulsating (DC)is called
rectification.
A full wave rectifier circuit
typically includes a transformer,
rectifier, filter, and voltage
regulator.
ALERNATING CURRENT:
The current whose direction changes
periodically is called an alternating current
(AC).This type of the current changes
direction and flows forward and backward.
It is produced by AC generator, dynamo,
etc.

DIRECT CURRENT:
If the current always flows in the same
direction in a conductor then it is called
direct current. It has zero frequency. It is
produced by cells, battery, DC generator etc.
