No, a Transistor operates with a modulated direct current. You need 4 Diodes to manufacture a rectifier to deliver direct current at the outlet, with alternating current at the input. A Diode is effectively a one way valve to address one halve of the cycle of the alternating current.

∙ 12y agoA transistor is, from a modeling standpoint, a controllable diode. The forward conduction curve of the collector-emitter junction is a function of the base-emitter current. (This assumes we are talking about the common bipolar junction transistor, or BJT.) Theoretically, then, you could use a transistor as a controllable rectifier. If you drive the base into saturation, then you could "think" of the collector-emitter as a diode.
However, the collector-emitter junction voltage drop is not the same as a true diode, as efficiency and power dissipation would be different than for a diode. It comes down to what you want to do.

Is BT169 a npn or pnp transistor?
BT169 is neither an NPN nor a PNP transistor. BT169 is a thyristor, otherwise known as a silicon controlled rectifier.
Why we you use center tapping in rectifier?
because we can get two different value at outpit.if we cosider tree point at secondery side of rectifier of 100volt that is A,B and C than we can get 50 vol bitween A and C.and we can get 100 volt bitween A and B.so no need to use two different value rectifier of 50 and 100 valt
Does CL100 transistor can be use at the place of SL100 transistor?
yes.

What is an unbiased transistor?
An unbiased transistor is one being used with no bias voltage to offset its operating point. If the input signal is very small it still can operate as an amplifier but the output will be non-linear. One use for an unbiased transistor is when the transistor is used as a switch, turning it on or off.
Is transistor a rectifier?
there are two diodes there but to use them as rectifiers never

Can you make transistor with 2 diode?
Yes, if the transformer output is center-tapped; otherwise, no, a bridge rectifier requires four diodes, or six for three phase power. More technically correct, what we are talking about is a full-wave rectifier. A bridge rectifier is properly always four or six diodes.

What is use of rectifier?

Why doesn't an SCR switch off once it turns on even after reducing gate potential?
A thyristor or silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), as they are sometimes known, consists of two transistors. A pulse on the gate turns on the second transistor which then turns on the first transistor in the combination. Turning on the first transistor enables anode current to flow and maintains a base current for the second transistor which keeps it on.See the Related link for an equivalent circuit for an SCR or thyristor.
