Center tap uses are to provide 180 degrees AC so both neg/pos phases can be rectified providing pulsating DC

Full wave rectifier using RC triggering circuit with diagram?

A full-wave rectifier (sometimes called a "bridge" rectifier) produces output current on both half-cycles of the input AC waveform. ******************************************** There are two types of full wave rectifier circuit. One uses four diodes in a "bridge"configuration and is fed from a simple transformer winding. The other uses two diodes and needs to be fed from a centre tapped transformer winding.


Where you can use full wave rectifier?

Basically , rectifier is used to convert a.c into d.c . The bridge rectifier is used in all power supply section of all device which are operated on D.C supplly. For example in TV the circuit board is operated at 12 V D.C. so we need dc supply which is provided by rectifier. All SMPS ( Switched Mode Power Supplies) uses Bridge rectifier.


Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier?

it is more preferable over center tapped rectifiers because you dont have to use special centre tapped transformer that has larger secondary windings thereby reducing the size and cost it also has another advantage by the use of 4 diodes i.e. peak voltage sustained by each diode is half of that sustained by the diodes in center tapped system that uses only 2 diode. thus lifespan of bridge type rectifier is more.
