Question

In a full-wave rectifier, the current in each of the diodes flows for:

Hint:

In a full-wave rectifier, each diode operates alternately, conducting current for half the input signal's cycle.

Answer 1

In a full-wave rectifier circuit, there are two diodes that conduct current alternately during the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC input signal. Each diode conducts for only half of the input signal cycle. The conduction process works as follows:
\begin{itemize} \item During the positive half-cycle, one diode is forward biased, allowing current to flow.
\item During the negative half-cycle, the other diode becomes forward biased and conducts current. \end{itemize} Thus, each diode conducts current for half the cycle of the input signal.
