NEET Physics Question - Semiconductor Physics - P-N Junction Diode and its applications

Assertion (A): Bridge full wave rectifier is more used than centre tap full wave rectifier.

Reason (R): In bridge full wave rectifier four diodes are used.

Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(A) is true but (R) is false

Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Bridge full-wave rectifiers are more popular because they do not require a costly center-tapped transformer and offer higher output voltage. So Assertion (A) is true. Reason (R) is also true as a bridge rectifier uses four diodes. However, the number of diodes is not the primary reason for its preference over a center-tap rectifier.
