Question

How does the direction of current through the load in the second half cycle of a full-wave rectifier compare with the first?

Options

• It flows in the opposite direction.

• It changes direction continuously.

• It does not flow through the load.

• It flows in the same direction.

Answer 1

The second diode conducts in the second half cycle. Current again flows through the load in the same direction as in the first half cycle.
