This presentation introduces rectifiers and was presented by Md. Tanvir Hossain Tushar, a first year Applied Chemistry and Chemical Engineering student. It defines a rectifier as an electrical device that converts alternating current to direct current using diodes. The presentation discusses half-wave and full-wave rectifiers, the types of full-wave rectifiers, and common uses of rectifiers such as in DC power supplies, radio signal detection, and high voltage DC power transmission.
