In the full-wave rectifier circuit shown in the figure, the diodes that conduct when the positive half-wave of AC signal applied are:

In the full-wave rectifier circuit shown in the figure, the diodes that conduct when the positive half-wave of AC signal applied are: Correct Answer D<sub>1</sub>, D<sub>2</sub>

Positive-half cycle:

During the positive half cycle of the supply, diodes D1 and D2 conduct in series while diodes D3 and D4 are reverse biased and the current flows through the load as shown in the figure below.
