In full wave rectification, the output D.C voltage is obtained across the load for:
Correct answer: A. The complete cycle of input A.C
- A. The complete cycle of input A.C
- B. The negative half cycle of input AC only
- C. The positive half cycle of input AC only
- D. None of these
Explanation
In full-wave rectification, the output DC voltage is obtained across the load for the entire duration of the input AC waveform.Unlike half-wave rectification where only one-half of the input AC waveform is used, full-wave rectification uses both halves of the AC input. This results in a more continuous output voltage across the load, eliminating the gaps present in the output waveform of half-wave rectification.In essence, with full-wave rectification, the output DC voltage across the load is present during both the positive and negative cycles of the input AC waveform, providing a more consistent and smoother DC output.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
