Which of the following is true for a bridge rectifier?A transistor of higher number of coil is required for center tapped rectifier than the identical bridge rectifierThe peak inverse voltage or PIV for the bridge rectifier is lower when compared to an identical center tapped rectifierThe output voltage for the center tapped rectifier is lower than the identical bridge rectifierAll of these

The correct answer is: "The peak inverse voltage or PIV for the bridge rectifier is lower when compared to an identical center tapped rectifier"

Here's why:

A bridge rectifier and a center tapped rectifier are both types of full wave rectifiers, which convert an input AC current into a DC current. However, they differ in their design and operation.

1. A transistor of higher number of coil is required for center tapped rectifier than the identical bridge rectifier: This statement is not necessarily true. The number of coils (or turns) in the transformer used in the rectifier does not depend on whether it is a bridge or center tapped rectifier, but on the desired output voltage and the specifications of the AC input.

2. The peak inverse voltage or PIV for the bridge rectifier is lower when compared to an identical center tapped rectifier: This statement is true. The PIV is the maximum voltage a diode can withstand in the reverse bias condition. In a bridge rectifier, each diode only has to block half of the secondary peak voltage, while in a center tapped rectifier, each diode has to block the full secondary peak voltage. Therefore, the PIV is lower for a bridge rectifier.

3. The output voltage for the center tapped rectifier is lower than the identical bridge rectifier: This statement is not necessarily true. The output voltage depends on the design of the rectifier and the specifications of the transformer and diodes used, not on whether it is a bridge or center tapped rectifier.

4. All of these: Since not all of the above statements are true, this option is not correct.
