A diode acts as a barrier for electrons, allowing the current to flow only in one direction. Rectifiers are used in many applications and the BAV103 and BAV115 are two such diodes that are commonly used for this purpose. When these diodes are connected in series to an alternating current (AC) circuit, they will only pass electricity during the positive half of the sinusoidal wave, and will block the current during the negative portion of the wave, thus converting AC power into direct current (DC) power. Furthermore, both the BAV103 and BAV115 are single rectifiers, which are commonly used for switching or to provide the reference voltage and current to the circuits.

The main difference between the two rectifiers lies in their peak reverse voltage ratings and forward current ratings. The peak reverse voltage of the BAV103 is 100V, while the BAV115 can withstand up to 1500V of reverse voltage. The BAV103 is also rated to handle up to 1A of average forward current, while the BAV115 can carry up to 3A of forward current. These higher-rated components are best suited for larger and more critical applications that need more power.

Both the BAV103 and BAV115 rectifiers are typically used in power supplies, motor control circuits, and automotive applications. In a power supply, they can be used to convert the AC power from the wall outlet into DC power that can be used by a computer or other devices. In motor control circuits, the diodes can be used to protect the motors against excessive current during motor startup. Finally, in automotive applications, they can be used to regulate the voltage in various circuits to make sure that there is sufficient power to power the vehicle\'s electronic components.

The working principle of these rectifiers is relatively simple and straightforward. When connected in series with an AC circuit, they will cause the current to flow only during one-half of the AC cycle. During the positive portion of the cycle, the diodes will be forward biased and will pass the current. During the negative portion of the cycle, they will be reverse biased and will block the current. This results in the AC power being converted into DC power, which can be then used by the device. Furthermore, if the diodes are connected in parallel, they will be able to pass high currents with very little voltage drop.

In conclusion, the BAV103 and BAV115 rectifiers are two common diodes that are used for converting AC power into DC power for a variety of applications. They have slightly different peak reverse voltage and forward current ratings, but both can be used for switching or as reference voltage and current sources. In addition, their working principle is relatively simple and straightforward, involving the forward and reverse biasing of the diodes to convert the AC power into DC power.
