Answer / mihir

RECTIFIERS

The rectifiers are those which converts a.c voltage to
d.c voltage.some of the rectifiers are
half wave rectifier{H.W.R}
full wave rectifier{F.W.R}
bridge rectifier{B.R}

Answer / raghavendran

It is a electronic device,used for the conversion of ac voltage to dc voltage.
Due to ripple content capacitors are used as filter to
remove some ac content from rectified dc voltage..therefore
the flow of current will be unidirectional..
And these are used in ADC(analog to digital converters),
in adapters, in eliminators.

Answer / divya

rectifier is defined as an electronic device used for
converting ac voltage into unidirectional dc voltage

Rectifiers also find a use in detection of amplitude
modulated radio signals.Rectifiers are also used to supply
polarised voltage for welding.

Answer / starlin

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts
alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Rectifiers
have many uses including as components of power supplies
and as detectors of radio signals.

Answer / dipayan dhar

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known as rectification. Physically, rectifiers take a number of forms, including vacuum tube diodes, mercury arc valves, solid-state diodes, silicon-controlled rectifiers and other silicon-based semiconductor switches. Historically, even synchronous electromechanical switches and motors have been used. Early radio receivers, called crystal radios, used a "cat's whisker" of fine wire pressing on a crystal of galena (lead sulfide) to serve as a point-contact rectifier or "crystal detector".
Rectifiers have many uses, but are often found serving as components of DC power supplies and high-voltage direct current power transmission systems. Rectification may serve in roles other than to generate direct current for use as a source of power. As noted, detectors of radio signals serve as rectifiers. In gas heating systems flame rectification is used to detect presence of flame.
