A rectifier is a device that converts an oscillating two-directional alternating current (AC) into a single-directional direct current (DC). Rectifiers can take a wide variety of physical forms, from vacuum tube diodes and crystal radio receivers to modern silicon-based designs.Sep 24, 2018');})();(function(){window.jsl.dh('_-qFnYOyXOMrm-gTplLmwBQ51','
The full-wave rectifier converts both halves of the AC sine wave to positive-voltage direct current. The result is DC voltage that pulses at twice the frequency of the input AC voltage. In other words, assuming the input is 60 Hz household current, the output will be DC pulsing at 120 Hz.
