Question 275

Which type of rectifier circuit uses two diodes and a center-tapped transformer?

  1. Full-waveCorrect answer
  2. Full-wave bridge
  3. Half-wave
  4. Synchronous

Explanation

The center tap gives two secondary halves of opposite polarity, so one diode conducts on each half of the cycle and both halves reach the load, which is full-wave rectification. A bridge achieves the same result with four diodes and needs no center tap.
