AET710-Analog Electronic Circuits-Lesson 3

Multiple Choice

Power diodes can be used individually or connected together to produce a variety of rectifier circuits such as “Half-Wave”, “Full-Wave” or as “Bridge Rectifiers”

• True

• False

• Only Half-wave

Multiple Choice

A rectifier is a circuit which converts the Alternating Current (AC) input power into a Direct Current (DC) output power.

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

What statement is correct about the graph

• Then this type of circuit is called a “full-wave” rectifier because it passes full of the incoming AC power supply.

• Then this type of circuit is called a “half-wave” rectifier because it passes only half of the incoming AC power supply.

• This type of circuit is called a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier

Multiple Choice

When rectifying from AC to DC using a diode, what method is applicable to smooth the output voltage ?

• Smoothing R

• Smoothing Inductance

• Smoothing Capacitor
