convert AC to 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.
The length of a full cycle of a wave is called a "wavelength".
The purpose of a bridge rectifier is to basically turn AC into DC. In a half wave rectifier you just eliminate the negative part of sine wave so you have positive cycle and then zero volts for 1/2 a cycle. In a full wave you flip the negative to positive so you have continually repeating positive halfs of the sine wave. So, it is easier to filter the full wave into DC with a capacitor and you get more average power. The down side is the bridge is slightly more complex.
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 .
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.
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
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.
