Transcription: The topic for this lesson is full wave rectifiers. In contrast to the half wave rectifier, a full wave rectifier establishes a unidirectional current for the entire waveform or full cycle. The output voltage is a pulsating DC wave that has a frequency twice that of the input. The average value of the full wave rectified voltage is determined by the equation 2 times V sub max divided by pi, or 0.636 times V sub max. Let's find the average value of the full wave rectified voltage in the figure shown. V sub average is equal to 0.636 times V sub max, or 12.72 volts. A full wave rectification circu ...
