Answer

  1.  

Working:

  • For +ve half cycle of AC source, let A be at +ve potential and B and –ve potential, So, D1 will be forward biased and D2 will be reversed biased. Itmeans currentwill only flow through D1 and current will not flow through D2. Output is obtained across RL.
  • For -ve half cylce, B will be at +ve potential and point A at –ve potential, So, D1 will be reversed biased and D2 will be forward biased Itmeans that current will only flow through D2 and not through D1, output is obtained across RL.

This process is called full wave rectification and the device is called full wave rectifier.
