For equal output, a centre-tap rectifier's secondary needs, versus a bridge:
AFour times the turns
BHalf as many turns
CTwice as many turns
DThe same turns
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Twice as many turns
Each half of a centre-tapped secondary feeds the output in turn, so it needs twice the turns of a bridge's.
