Question

True or false: Half wave and full wave rectifier circuits convert sinusoidal signal to approximaste dc signal.

Answer 1

Rectifier is an electrical device which converts an alternating current into direct current by allowing a current to flow through it in one Direction only .

Half wave rectifier is a rectifier circuit which converts the alternating current into direct current using only one half cycle of input voltage the input supply may be Single Phase II multiphase

Full wave rectifier is a rectifier circuit which converts an AC voltage into DC voltage using both of cycles of the applied voltage

Therefore both Half wave and full wave rectifer circuits convert sinusoidal signal to approximate dc signal.
