It is defined as the ratio of RMS value of output voltage to the average value of the out put voltage.

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.
You use a half-wave rectifier where the system design does not require a full-wave approach. Half wave rectifier output is used for running ac motors.
Ripple factor ripple factor is very important in deciding the efficiency of the rectifier .ripple factor give the total power converted AC input to the DC output. Ideal ripple factor should be zero and power factor 1. Ripple factor of half wave rectifier 1.21 and full wave rectifier is 0.48.
what is the function of transformer in the half wave rectifier circuit
Efficiency is double in case of full wave rectifier.
A clipper can act as a half wave rectifier but it might be a little hard.
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.
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.
