AC Basics: Peak, RMS & Average Values

In a full wave rectifier circuit without filter, the output current is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. A full wave rectifier flips the negative half cycles, so current flows in one direction only.
  2. Without a filter the output still rises and falls (pulsating), so it is not steady.
  3. So the answer is (d) unidirectional but not steady current.
