possibly some of both, as well as various other components.
Resistors, capacitors, diodes
Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.
Two types used at microwave frequencies are gunn and PIN diodes.
A capacitor alone can not raise the voltage level.Capacitors together with a multivibrator (Or an AC source) and some diodes can do the trick. Works well on higher voltages.Capacitors together with a multivibrator and an inductor would be the preferred method for low voltages. It works well even on voltages as low as 0.8 Volt.Capacitors and diodes are by far the easiest available components.Have a look at the related link down below for more information on how to raise the voltage.
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
Resistors, capacitors, diodes
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
A: The purpose it to block the capacitor from discharging to the source

diodes are commonly used for rectification
No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
Diodes are used after a center-tapped transformer in a DC to AC inverter to rectify the alternating current (AC) output of the transformer into pulsating direct current (DC). This rectified voltage is then smoothed using filters to produce a more stable DC waveform. The diodes act as one-way valves, allowing current to flow in only one direction, thus converting the AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage.

Diodes can be used in the following domains:In rectifier circuitsin display circuitsas switches
a diode is a device that alows current to flow in one direction you have power diodes which are used in rectification processes and high current operations but the two main families of diodes are solid state diodes or valve operated diodes.
