There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. Please restate the question.
A; The 1N4xxx series of rectifier diodes are specified as 1 amp forward conduction. the last number signify the maxi mun reverse voltage it can sustain without breakdown.
In a rectifier made of just diodes, the diodes have a voltage drop, resulting in a lower DC output voltage. By introducing an Op-amp, this voltage drop can be overcome. Since there is no voltage drop caused by the diodes, the rectified signal is not changed by the rectifier, so it is called a precision rectifier.
Diodes can be used in the following domains:In rectifier circuitsin display circuitsas switches
in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.
there are two diodes there but to use them as rectifiers never
They both have the same current.
It's 1N4001 Maximum reverse voltage 50 volts, 1 amp The last digit indicates the voltage. To replace a 1N4001, you could safely use any of the diodes in that series. 1N4001 = 50 volts 1N4002 = 100 volts 1N4003 = 200 volts 1N4004 = 400 volts 1N4005 = 600 volts 1N4006 = 800 volts 1N4007 = 1000 volts The 1N4000 series diodes are rectifier diodes. They're used for converting AC voltage into DC voltage. And frankly, I can't think of a reason why I'd choose the 1N4001 when the more-versatile (as in you can use it in more places) 1N4003 is the same price.
Its no longer a rectifier and the resistors may catch fire.
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.)

No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
With the rectifier alone, the result is d.c. but with a voltage ripple caused by the rectifier diodes not being absolute in action. The rectifier needs following with a smoothing circuit, a suitable capacitor at its simplest, to remove the ripple.
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.
A rectifier is at least two diodes, one anode is connected to the other diode's cathode. ANSWER: Any single diode can be a rectifier without being double or quadruple
A full-wave rectifier (sometimes called a "bridge" rectifier) produces output current on both half-cycles of the input AC waveform. ******************************************** There are two types of full wave rectifier circuit. One uses four diodes in a "bridge"configuration and is fed from a simple transformer winding. The other uses two diodes and needs to be fed from a centre tapped transformer winding.

You will get reduced amperage (or output) from the alternator. A alternator rated at 80 amps would probably only produce 50-60 amps. If a diode in a rectifier is shorted, then the alternator output would be greatly reduced or possibly no output at all.
