is a device that smoothen your half-wave rectification into a full-wave rectification after using a 4 diode and 1 resistor , after adding a capacitor , there will be a almost steady output , it charges the capacitor when is forward biased which is the first half wave , and discharge when is reverse biased to stablelize the wave into a almost same potential difference compare to a.c
to smooth the output of the half-wave rectifier from 1/2 an AC cycle per period to a constant voltage.

The output degrades to half-wave rectification.
The AC voltage is in the form of a sine wave. Half the wave is above zero volts and half below. In half wave rectification the bottom half of the wave is chopped off. That leaves a series of "humps' interspersed with a half wave time of zero voltage. The capacitor stores charge that decays through the resistor. The more capacitance the longer the charge is held and the voltage smooths out somewhat to approximate a DC voltage with some ripple. A full wave rectifier flips the bottom half of the waveform above zero so that the period of time the voltage is close to zero is reduced and the less ripple in the output voltage and the capacitor will smooth out the voltage even more.
Of course. It's not as efficient or noiseless as full-wave rectification, but it's certainly usable as a source of DC.
As states half wave will rectify only either positive or negative of a full wave. full wave will rectify positive and negative making it full wave rectification.
You can't convert ac to pure dc with diode only. The easiest way to convert ac to dc by with diode is by using rectification, it consist of at least 2 diodes (half wave rectifier) and (capacitor is to "smoother" the wave).
Half-wave rectification is achieved using a single diode in a one phase supply, or by using three diodes in a three phase supply. In half wave rectification, either the positive or negative half of the AC wave is passed and the other half is blocked. Since only one half of the input waveform reaches the output, it is very inefficient if used for power transfer. A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to DC (direct current), and is more efficient.
When alternating current of any frequency is fully rectified, both halves of the wave are converted to direct current and utilized. Half-wave rectification is when half of the wave is ignored. So the main characteristic that is changed is the shape of wave by flipping half the wave over to the same side as the rest. But it does not flatten the peaks on the wave without additional filtering.
A: BEST HOW? the input power does not change for full wave or half wave rectification The output of a half wave will have half of the power available for the output to use so it would be best a low DC requirement yes.
