semiconductor-electronics--materials-devices-and-simple-circuits Question 19

Question: Q. 1. Explain with the help of a circuit diagram, the working of a $p-n$ junction diode as a half-wave rectifier. U] [OD I, II, III 2014]

Show Answer

Solution:

Ans.

Working : During one half of the input a.c., the diode is forward biased and a current flows through $R_{L}$.

During the other half of the input a.c. the diode is reverse biased and no current flows through the load $R_{L}$. $1 / 2$

Hence, the given $a c$ input is rectified. $1 / 2$
