Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.

What happens if one of the four diodes in s bridge rectifier is reverse?
four diodes
How many diodes in full wave rectifier?
Depends on the number of phases.single phase uses 4 diodesthree phase uses 6 diodes
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
Difference between 4 diodes and 2 diodes rectifier?
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
What is the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistor in bridge rectifier circuit?
Its no longer a rectifier and the resistors may catch fire.
What happens if one of the four diodes in s bridge rectifier is reverse?
four diodes
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.
Are diodes rectifiers?
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
How many diodes in full wave rectifier?
Depends on the number of phases.single phase uses 4 diodesthree phase uses 6 diodes
Why to use four diodes when two diodes also can serve the purpose in bridge rectifier?
Four diode rectifier not require a center tapped transformer.
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.
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
A full wave bridge rectifier uses how many diodes?
to flow the electrons one way

Purpose of bridge diode in a power supply?
Bridge diodes are generally used in a bridge rectifier to convert AC into DC.
What is the name of a group of diodes that turn alternating current into direct current?
Bridge rectifier
What is the major effect of replacing the two diodes with resistor in bridge rectifier circuit?
Its no longer a rectifier and the resistors may catch fire.
