Heya

Half wave rectifier (HWR) is the first type in the rectifiers which rectifies the full wave input AC signal in to half wave pulsating DC signal. That’s y this is called half wave rectifier.

CONSTRUCTION OF HWR:

The diode is the first component used in rectifiers which is a uni-directional device i.e. it allows the signal in one direction and blocks the signal flow in opposite direction. In HWR, the diode is placed in series with the input AC  sinusoidal signal which consists of positive ad negative peaks. If the diode is placed in the normal direction then it rectifies the negative peak and produces positive peak as output. If it placed in reverse direction then it acts as positive clipper and produces negative HW output.
