The voltage transfer characteristic as shown in the figure will relate to a 1. Ideal voltage regulator 2. Ideal half-wave rectifier 3. Ideal full-wave rectifier Which of the above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 only
Explanation:
In the given diagram we can see that initially, the output voltage is proportional to the input voltage.
V0 ∝ Vi
After a particular value of input voltage, the output voltage V0 is constant. i.e. it works as a voltage regulator.

The working of a half-wave and full-wave rectifier is as shown:

- A half-wave rectifier conducts when the alternating current is positive, which happens during 180° of the A.C cycle, and blocks current during the other 180 degrees
- A full-wave rectifier conducts during both 180° periods of an A.C cycle; So you can see, it conducts current for twice the amount of time
- The full-wave rectifier has twice the efficiency of a half-wave rectifier is, that it utilizes both half-cycles of the input
