Which of the following rectifier uses a wheatstone bridge to rectify the signal:
Correct answer: C. Bridge
- A. Half wave
- B. Full wave
- C. Bridge
- D. All of the above options are correct
Explanation
Bridge rectifier uses wheatstone bridge to rectify signal: Four diodes are used Two diodes remains on (Forward Biased) in each hafe of the input cycle while other two remains off (Reverse Biased) i the same half of the cycle.

About Alternating Current
Alternating current varies periodically, so phase relationships become essential when current passes through a resistor, capacitor or inductor. The chapter distinguishes resistance from capacitive and inductive reactance, explains phase lead and lag, and connects changing electric and magnetic fields with the production and properties of electromagnetic waves.
