Full Wave Rectifier Quiz

What is the working principle of a full wave rectifier?

• It converts AC signal into AC output

• It only converts one half of the input AC signal into DC output

• It converts both halves of the input AC signal into DC output.

• It amplifies the input AC signal

How does a full wave rectifier convert AC to DC?

• It uses a parallel circuit to convert AC to DC

• It uses a series circuit to convert AC to AC

• It uses a bridge circuit to convert both halves of the AC input signal into DC output.

• It uses a transformer to convert AC to DC

Name two components of a full wave rectifier.

• Transistors and inductors

• Diodes and a transformer

• Resistors and capacitors

• Op-amps and resistors

What is the function of a diode in a full wave rectifier?

• To amplify the current

• To allow current to flow in only one direction

• To generate heat

• To store electrical energy

What are the advantages of using a full wave rectifier?

• Lower efficiency and rougher output

• Higher efficiency and smoother output

• Higher cost and more complex design

• No change in efficiency and output

How does a full wave rectifier provide a more stable output compared to a half wave rectifier?

• It only uses one half of the input signal

• It uses a lower voltage input

• It uses both halves of the input signal

• It has a higher output impedance

What are the disadvantages of a full wave rectifier?

• Smaller size and easier to maintain

• Higher cost and need for a center-tapped transformer
