The full wave rectifier is a means of converting alternating current (ac) into direct current (dc). It is done with either the use of 2 diodes coming off a center tapped transformer, or by using a bridge rectifier, which conists of 4 diodes ganged together in a certain configuration. As it's name implies, it converts both the positive going and the negative going parts of the sign wave into useable dc, and therefore is more efficient than a half wave rectifier, which only converts 1/2 of the complete sign wave into useable dc.
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.
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
They both have the same current.
Both the bridge rectifier and the full-wave rectifier achieve the same thing. They rectify the AC input on both opposing phases so as to minimize ripple time and voltage. The difference is that a bridge rectifier consists of four diodes arranged in a bridge, so the input needs to only be single phase AC, while a full wave rectifier consists of two diodes, but needs a split phase AC source, such as provided by a center tapped transformer winding. Also, the bridge rectifier presents two junction drops in the output, because there are always two diodes in series, while the full-wave rectifier presents only one junction drop in the output, because there is only one. It is a trade-off.
this is usually referring to a type of rectifier, not the waves themselves.
Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.

The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
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.
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 .
Half wave rectifier makes the the sinusoidal wave uni-direction only in one half cycle and leave the other but in full wave rectifier both the cycles are made uni-directional.
You cannot use a rectifier to go from DC to AC. You need an oscillator.
For a center tapped full wave rectifier transformer secondary gives a voltage that is 2Vm. For a bridge rectifier it is Vm.
They both have the same current.
