The resistance of full wave rectifier is:
Correct answer: A. Less than the resistance of half wave rectifier
- A. Less than the resistance of half wave rectifier
- B. More than the resistance of half wave rectifier
- C. Equal to the resistance of half wave rectifier
- D. Negligible in comparison to the resistance of half wave rectifier
Explanation
This is the correct answer. A full-wave rectifier is more efficient. It utilizes both halves of the AC input, resulting in a higher average DC output. For a given voltage, a higher current flow implies lower resistance.

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.
