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.

How is a circuit diagram related to a closed circuit?

A circuit diagram is a visual representation of an electrical circuit using symbols to show components and connections. In a closed circuit, the electrical current can flow continuously through a complete path without interruption. The circuit diagram helps to understand how the components in a closed circuit are connected and how the current flows.
