Half wave rectifier | Electronics | Power supply

Half wave rectifier

Rectifier

  • A device which is used to convert alternating current (or voltage) into direct current (or voltage) is known as rectifier
  • The process of converting ac into dc is known as rectification.

Principle of rectifier

  • A diode offers a low resistance in forward bias and a high resistance in reverse bias.
  • It means a very small or practically a zero current flows through the circuit, when diode is reverse biased. This principle is used in the working of rectifier.

Half wave rectifier (HWR)

  • A rectifier which converts only half cycle of input ac into dc is known as half wave rectifier.

  • In this rectifier an alternating voltage E = E0 sin ωt is applied at the primary coil of transformer.
  • The output voltage is always positive, but it does not remain constant with respect to time.
  • The output voltage obtained will be pulsating dc voltage.
  • If Rf = forward dynamic resistance of diode, Rs = resistance of secondary coil of transformer, and RL = load resistance, then
  • Current flowing through RL

Average value of output pulsating current/voltage


Average value of voltage across RL


Root mean square value of pulsating current/voltage

  • For a complete cycle of input, the square root of mean of square of current is root mean square (rms) value of current.


Root mean square value of output voltage


Power supplied to the circuit

  • Input ac power = Power across Rs + Power across diode resistance Rf + Power across RL

Average power supplied to the load

  • Output dc power in load RL

Efficiency of half wave rectifier

  • It is defined as the ratio of the output dc power to the input ac power.
  • η = (output dc power / input ac power) × 100 %

  • By increasing the value of load resistor RL, the value of rectifier efficiency increases.
  • When RL >> R, ηmax = 40.6 %
  • When RL = R, η = 20.3 %

Ripple factor (r)

  • The output voltage or current obtained from rectifier is unidirectional, but its value does not remain constant with time.
  • The pulsation available in the output current or voltage is ripples.
  • Ripple factor gives the measure of smoothing of output voltage or current of a rectifier.
  • r = effective value of output ac component / Average of dc component of output current = Iac / Idc
  • From ac circuit theory

  • Thus half wave rectifier is a poor device for converting ac into dc

Voltage regulation (VR)

  • The strength of maintaining a constant voltage by a rectifier on varying the load resistance is voltage regulation.
  • VR = [(VNL - VFL) / VFL ] × 100%
  • VNL = Output in the absence of load resistance (when RL = ∞)
  • VFL = Output in the presence of load resistance
  • For ideal power supply VR = 0
  • It means in ideal power supply the output voltage should not depend on load.


  • As the value of Idc increases, the value of Edc decreases linearly.

Peak inverse voltage (PIV)

  • The maximum value of voltage which is withstand on the diode, when no current is flowing in the circuit.
  • It is the maximum voltage on the diode in its non-conducting state.
  • For half wave rectifier, PIV = - E0

Frequency component of output voltage or current

  • From Fourier analysis, the output current

  • First term I/ π represents the dc or average value of current
  • Frequency of second term is equal to the frequency of input ac voltage and its peak value is I0 / 2
  • The other terms represents the harmonics.

Electric field due to circular loop of charge | Electromagnetics

Electric field due to circular loop of charge Electric field The space around a charged particle in which another charge experience a force is known as electric field. The source of electric field is either a charge or a time varying magnetic field. If the value of electric field does not change with time, then it will be uniform electric field, otherwise it will be non-uniform electric field. Electric field due to circular loop of charge If λ is linear charge density, then the charge on d l dq = λ d l      ⇒     dq = (q / 2πa) d l Electric field at P due to charge dq Special cases When P lies at the centre of the loop i. e., r = 0, then E = 0 When P lies very far from the centre of the loop i. e., r >> a, then E = kq / r 2 In this case circular loop behaves as a point charge.

Cardinal points of a lens system | Optics | General theory of image formation

Cardinal points of a lens system There are total six cardinal points of a lens system, which are first and second focal points, first and second principal points, and first and second nodal points. First and second focal points (First and second focal planes) A pair of points lying on the principal axis and conjugate to points at infinity are known as focal points. First and Second focal points A point on the principal axis in the object space so that the rays starting (or appear to start) from it become parallel to the principal axis after refraction from the lens system is known as first focal point (F 1 ). A point on the principal axis in the image space so that the rays parallel to the principal axis in the image space focus (or appear to focus) at this point after refraction from the lens system is known as second focal point (F 2 ). First and Second focal planes The plane passing through the first focal point, and perpendicular to the optic axis is first f...
