1. What is a single rectifier diode?
A single rectifier diode is an electronic component used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), typically used in power supplies, chargers, and other circuits that require DC power.
-
2. What is the working principle of a single rectifier diode?
A rectifier diode conducts current when forward biased, converting the positive half wave of alternating current into direct current. When reverse biased, the diode blocks the current, thereby preventing the negative half wave from passing through and achieving rectification effect.
-
3. What is the maximum reverse voltage (PIV) of a rectifier diode?
The Peak Inverse Voltage (PIV) is the maximum reverse voltage that a diode can withstand. When selecting a diode, the PIV must be higher than the maximum reverse voltage in the circuit, usually twice or more the input voltage.
-
4. What is the difference between a single rectifier diode and a bridge rectifier?
A single rectifier diode can only rectify the positive half wave of AC power (half wave rectification), while a bridge rectifier composed of four diodes can rectify the positive and negative half waves of AC power (full wave rectification), with higher efficiency and smoother output.
