Imagine a rectifier as a valve that only allows electrical current to flow in one direction. When using a single rectifier you end up with half of the wave cycle being cut off (when the cycle turns negative). In many applications a full wave rectifier would be far more desirable. By configuring four of the rectifiers it is possible to make what's called a full wave "bridge".
The link below shows how a full wave bridge works.

Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
Purpose of bridge diode in a power supply?
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
Can you give 230V ac directly to bridge rectifier?
Yes, if the diodes that the bridge rectifier are rated for 230V in forward and reverse voltages. Normally you can do a search for the part number on the internet and get specs there.
What are the advantages and dis advantage of full-wave bridge rectifier compared with two diodes rectifier?
in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.
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.
Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
How do you make project of bridge rectifier on breadboard?
how to make a bridge rectifier on breadboard
What are merits and demerits of bridge rectifier?
Merits a diode bridge rectifier is simple to build
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.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier

How does bridge rectifier control a DC motor?
give answer how to control the speed of dc motor using bridge rectifier ? ANSWER: A bridge rectifier by itself does not control anything it merely convert AC into DC. the controlling is done by other means SCR TRIACS AND SERVO loop
What is the advantages of using the bridge rectifier over the center tapped rectifier?
you only use half the number of windings in the bridge comparing it to the center tapped , and in the bridge rectifier the peak inverse voltage that a diode must be able to sustain without break down is half of that in the center tapped PIV per diode: center tapped: 2Vm : bridge : 1Vm
What is the effect of inductive load on a single phase full wave bridge rectifier?
rectifier is used to resist the current likewise in bridge wave rectifier ,the inductive load is used to resist high amount of current because in bridge wave we cannot resist the current by using rectifier ..so we are using inductive load here
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.
Does the bridge rectifier follow the value of the input current?
No.
