BRIDGE RECTIFIER | ELECTRIC CIRCUIT & ELECTRONIC DEVICE |SNS INSTITUTIONS

A bridge rectifier is an electronic circuit that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by routing current through four diodes. It provides full-wave rectification—meaning it flips the negative half of the AC wave to positive, resulting in a highly efficient, pulsating DC output.How It WorksThe circuit uses four diodes arranged in a diamond-shaped "bridge" configuration. Positive Half-Cycle: Two diodes are forward-biased, allowing current to flow to the output in a positive direction. Negative Half-Cycle: The remaining two diodes turn on, redirecting the reversed AC input so that the current still flows through the load in the same positive direction. #snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking
