Question

Accepted Answer

Explanation of full wave bridge rectifier, transformer losses, filter usage, and Zener diode as regulator.

Full wave bridge rectifier converts AC to DC using four diodes arranged in a bridge configuration
Transformer losses occur due to core saturation and resistance in the windings
Filters are used to smooth out the DC output and reduce ripple
Zener diode operates in reverse breakdown region and maintains a constant voltage output
Zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator in circuits

Accepted Answer

Filters use to reduce harmonics that leads to smoother wave form.
