bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Working the rectifier
such a control rectifier that control or rectifier single phase. for that purpose we used SCR that is called single phase controlled rectifier.
In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.
In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
