Example

Determine the peak value of the output voltage for the above figure if the turns
ratio is 0.5.

VP (Pri) = 170V
VP (sec) = nVP (Pri) = 0.5×170 = 85 V
VP (out) = VP (sec) - 0.7V = 85 - 0.7 = 84.3V
 FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER

A full-wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one-way) current

through the load during the entire 360° of the input cycle,
whereas a half-wave rectifier allows current through the load
only during one-half of the cycle
