A: The reason is that a 1N4xxx diode is the most common and vastly manufactured and it is cheap and finally it can conduct 1 ampere which most circuit can use for operation. Actual in most cases it is an overkill but it is cheaper then anything else.

What is the forward breakdown voltage for in4007 diode?
there is no forward breakdown voltage for any diode
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
What is the Difference between diode OA79 and IN4007?
The only difference is the maximum repetitive capability which is maximum for IN4007 compared to OA79
What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?
Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
What is the forward breakdown voltage for in4007 diode?
there is no forward breakdown voltage for any diode
Why transfer characteristics cannot be obtained for a bridge rectifier?
Its because one of the diode gets shorted.The diode in the left lower arm in a bridge rectifier gets shorted by the ground points of both the cro and the function generator.
Purpose of bridge diode in a power supply?
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?
The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.
What is the voltage drop in diode IN4007?
forward drop is the same as any other silicon diode, about 0.7V
Can a diode be used as rectifier diode?
yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
