A fullwave rectifier takes A.C. voltage and makes low ripple D.C. out of it. The next step is a capacitor to smooth the D.C. and reduce the ripple. The rectifier is typically made of four diodes arranged in a diamond shape.The two cathode/anode junctions of the bridge takes in the A.C. and conducts the positive part of the A.C. to the two cathodes junction and the negative part to the two anodes junction configured diodes.
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.
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
full wave doubler works like a doubler but difference is in doubler you will get only double of your input. in full wave doubler you will get a doubler of your doubler...

full wave rectifier, because in half wave rectifier only one p-n junction diode Ans 2. In full wave rectifier both negative & positive cycles are rectified , but , in half wave rectifier only the positive or the negative cycle is rectified . That's why full wave rectifier provides more power .
well the transformer is always full wave half wave refers to the one diode on the output for dc other than spending less for diodes there are no disadvantages to full wave diodes are a LOT cheaper than capacitors if you need clean dc if youre buying wall warts get the full wave if it costs the same
The period of the wave is 5 seconds because it is the time taken for one full oscillation or cycle of the wave. Period is the time taken for a wave to complete one full cycle of its motion.
It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.
A half wave rectifier is not as effective as a full wave rectifier. With a 1/2 wave, you are throwing away one hump of the sine wave...either positive or negative portion. With a full wave rectifier you get both humps...either positive or negative. The resultant effective voltage is much greater with a full wave rectifier, because there is very little time when the voltage is zero. The half wave is zero for 1/2 of the cycle.
The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
