In a half-wave rectifier, current flows through the load for approximately 50% of the input cycle. This is because the rectifier only allows one half (positive or negative) of the AC waveform to pass through, effectively blocking the other half. As a result, current is present during the positive half-cycle of the input signal and absent during the negative half-cycle.
Rectifier is used to convert alternating current to direct current.

Diode rectifier
A rectifier turns the Alternating Current (AC) produced by the Alternator into Direct Current (DC) that your car uses.
In a bridge rectifier, the current output is the same as the input AC current during the positive half-cycle of the AC waveform. However, during the negative half-cycle, the diodes in the bridge configuration allow current to flow in the same direction, effectively converting AC to DC. The output current can be influenced by the load connected to the rectifier and may vary based on the input voltage and the characteristics of the rectifier circuit.
Where a single diode is used as a rectifier you get halfwave rectification when the sinus wave is going positive the diode will conduct but in the negative half of the cycle it will block the current flow so the result wave form will be only the positive half that will be available for half the period of the cycle the other half will be 0 Volt

A rectifier converts AC current to DC current. The opposite of an inverter. http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier http:/www.tech-faq.com/what-is-a-rectifier.shtml
They both have the same current.
The rectifier changes the ac current from under the flywheel to dc

An electrical device that converts alternating current to direct current is known as a rectifier. An inverter is a device that converts direct current to alternating current.

Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.
