Tag Rectifiers

Full-wave rectifier are more commonly used than half-wave rectifier, due to their higher average voltages and currents, higher efficiency, and reduced ripple factor.

A center-tapped rectifier is a type of full-wave rectifier that uses two diodes connected to the secondary of a center-tapped transformer

Diode has a property that is ability to conduct current in only one direction. Due to this property diodes are used in rectifier circuits.

As shown in the given diagram of full wave bridge rectifier it consists of four diodes under the condition in which four diodes
