(a) In the following diagram, is the junction diode forward biased or reverse biased?
(b) Draw the circuit diagram of a full wave rectifier and state how it works.
(a) The diode is reverse biased
(b) Full-wave rectifiers
During the positive half cycle of AC input voltage diode is forward biased and the diode
is reverse biased and a unidirectional variable dc output is obtained.
During negative half cycle is forward biased and
is reverse biased and a unidirectional variable DC output is obtained.
