Full Wave Rectifier

A full-wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one-way) current through the load during the entire 360° of the input cycle, whereas a half-wave

Half Wave Rectifier : Half-Wave Rectifier Operation The below Figure illustrates the process called half-wave rectification. A diode is connected

All active electronic devices require a source of constant dc that can be supplied by a battery or a dc power

An ideal diode is a diode that acts like a perfect conductor when voltage is applied forward biased and like

The ideal model of a diode is the least accurate approximation and can be represented by a simple switch. When the

As we know, forward bias produces current through a diode and reverse bias essentially prevents current, except for a negligible

A diode is made from a small piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon, in which half is doped as a p region

The valence and conduction bands in an n-type material are at slightly lower energy levels than the valence and conduction bands

When you take a block of silicon and dope part of it with a trivalent impurity and the other part with

Semiconductive materials do not conduct current well and are of limited value in their intrinsic state. This is because of the
