Step-by-step explanation:
The process of converting the AC current into DC current is called rectification. Rectification can be achieved by using a single diode or group of diodes. These diodes which convert the AC current into DC current are called rectifiers.
Rectifiers are generally classified into two types: half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier.
A half wave rectifier uses only a single diode to convert AC to DC. So it is very easy to construct the half wave rectifier. However, a single diode in half wave rectifier only allows either a positive half cycle or a negative half cycle of the input AC signal and the remaining half cycle of the input AC signal is blocked. As a result, a large amount of power is wasted. Furthermore, the half wave rectifiers are not suitable in the applications which need a steady and smooth DC voltage. So the half wave rectifiers are not efficient AC to DC converters.
