Number of diodes required in the ordinary full-wave rectifier is

  • Number of diodes required in the ordinary full-wave rectifier is 2.
  • The number of diodes required for a full-wave rectifier depends on the type of full-wave rectifier.
  • In an ordinary full-wave rectifier, which uses a center-tapped transformer, 2 diodes are required.
  • However, in a bridge rectifier, which uses 4 diodes arranged in a bridge configuration, only 4 diodes are required.
  • So the statement "Number of diodes required in the ordinary full-wave rectifier is 2" is correct only for the ordinary full-wave rectifier using a center-tapped transformer.
