Which of the following rectifier uses wheatstone bridge to rectify signal:
Correct answer: C. Bridge
- A. Half wave
- B. Full wave
- C. Bridge
- D. Both half and full wave
Explanation
Bridge rectifier is formed by connecting four diodes in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. It also provides full wave rectification.Bridge rectifier is formed by connecting four diodes in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. It also provides full wave rectification. During the first half of AC cycle, two diodes are forward biased and during the second half of AC cycle, the other two diodes become forward biased.

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.
