Bridge Wave Rectifier With Capacitor Filter. Full wave rectifiers with capacitor filters are without question the workhorse and the unsung hero of the modern electronic world and for the gadgets we have come to enjoy. Full wave rectifier with capacitor filter.
In the circuit diagram the capacitor c is placed across the load resistor rl. The filter made up of capacitor and resistor is known as capacitor filter. Therefore a smooth dc voltage can be attained with this filter.
The output at the load with this bridge wave rectifier is pulsating in nature but producing a pure dc requires an additional filter like a capacitor.
But this cannot be used in real life applications. As the name implies this rectifier rectifies both the half cycles of the i p ac signal but the dc signal acquired at the o p still have some waves. Experts speak of a high ripple. The working of the full wave rectifier with filter is almost similar to that of the half wave rectifier with filter.
