Full Wave Bridge Rectifier With Capacitor Filter

 Full Wave Bridge Rectifier With Capacitor Filter

The voltage obtained across the load resistor of the full-wave bridge rectifier described above has a large
amount of ripple. A capacitor filter may be added to smooth-en the ripple in the output, as shown below.

The rectifier circuits discussed above can be used to charge batteries and to convert AC voltages into constant

DC voltages. Full-wave and bridge rectifier are more commonly used than half-wave rectifier.
