What is the ripple factor of full wave rectifier?

Answer 1

although the AC signal is rectified the output which we get is the pulsating DC which is not desired because many appliances wok on plain DC voltage . The pulsating DC can be viewed as AC + DC component of the signal

ripple factor of a rectified circuit is the ratio of AC component of signal to the DC component of the same rectified output signal. higher the ripple factor says that the signal is not smooth so lesser is its application.

the components used to smooth these type of signals or to remove the 'ripple voltage' as called filters

Answer 2

A: Without a capacitor to smooth out the DC there will be no ripple just pulsating DC at double of the input frequency. But if you add a capacitor then the ripple will be directly related to the load.

Answer 3

Rippling can be reduced by incorporating an inductor or capacitor filter. The most common type of filter out there is a capacitive filter.

Answer 4

The ripple factor of Half wave rectifier is the ratio of the rms value of the ac components to the dc value of the component

Answer 5

The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482

Answer 6

1.2134

Answer 7

.482
