Share:
- 1The bridge rectifier is a full-wave rectifier that does not require a center-tapped transformer, thereby improving transformer utilization factor.✓
- 2The output voltage of a bridge rectifier consists purely of a DC component with zero AC ripple factor.
- 3The peak inverse voltage (PIV) of a diode in a bridge rectifier is the same as in a center-tapped full-wave rectifier.
- 4In a bridge rectifier, current flows through all four diodes simultaneously during both half cycles, leading to very high power loss.
Correct answer
The bridge rectifier is a full-wave rectifier that does not require a center-tapped transformer, thereby improving transformer utilization factor.
