    INTRODUCTION

    Although in our daily life we use A.C. current


    devices. But rectifier is a ‘Electronic device which
    converts A.C. power into D.C. power’.
    The study of the junction diode characteristics reveals
    that the junction diode offers a low resistance path,
    when forward biased, and a high resistance path,
    when reverse biased. This feature of the junction
    diode enables it to be used as a rectifier.
    The alternating signals provides opposite kind of
    biased voltage at the junction after each half-
    cycle. If the junction is forward biased in the first
    half- cycle, its gets reverse biased in the second
    half. It results in the flow of forward current in one
    direction only and thus the signal gets rectified.
    In other words, we can say, when an alternating emf
    signal is applied across a junction diode, it will conduct
    only during those alternate half cycles, which biased it
    in forward direction.

    Mainly we have two types of rectifier:
    1. Half wave rectifier.
    2. Full wave rectifier.

    When a single diode is used as a rectifier, the


    rectification of only one-half of the A.C. wave form takes
    place. Such a rectification is called half-wave
    rectification. The circuit diagram for a half-wave rectifier
    is shown in figure.
    :
    It is based upon the principle that junction diode
    offers low resistance path when forward biased, and high
    resistance when reverse biased.
    :
    The A.C. supply is applied across the primary coil(P)
    of a step-down transformer. The secondary coil(S) of the
    transformer is connected to the juncti on diode and a load
    resistance RL. The output D.C. voltage is obtained across
    the load resistance(RL)
    :
    Suppose that during the first half of the input cycle,
    the juncti on diode gets forward biased the conventi onal
    current will fl ow in the directi on of the arrow-heads. The
    upper end of RL will be at positi ve potenti al w.r.t. the
    lower end. During the negati ve half cycle of the input ac
    voltage, the diode is reverse biased. No current fl ows in
    the circuit, and therefore, no voltage is developed across
    (RL). Since only the positi ve half cycle of the input appears
    across the load, the ac input is converted into pulsating
    direct current (dc).

    1. Half Wave Recti fi cati on requires only a single rectifier


    to work.
    2. Half Wave Recti fi cati on is significantly cheap.

    3. Half wave rectification involves a lot of wastage of


    energy and hence it is not preferred.
    4. Some small current fl ows during reverse bias due to
    minority charge carriers. As the output across (RL) is
    negligible.
