Well a SCR is a solid state device. There are no moving parts inside. So no it could not stick in the on position but it could fail in the on position. When this happens there is no fixing it like a relay. It will need to be replaced.

How many diodes in a bridge rectifier?

Bridge Rectifier DiodesIn a "bridge" rectifier there is 4 diodes In a "full wave" there are 2 diodes.In a "half wave" rectifier there is 1 diode.


What happens when one of the diodes is removed from the bridge rectifier?

Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.


How can capacitor smooth or reduce the ripple of the voltage produced by the rectifier?

when rectifier is on, the capacitor is almost transparent (it charges to the voltage provided from the rectifier) when rectifier is off, capacitor holds the peak voltage since it stored a charge during rectifier on time.

Is there any application where center tap rectifier is preferred over bridge rectifier?

For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
