In a half-wave rectifier, one half of each a.c input cycle is rectified. When the p-n junction diode is forward biased, it gives little resistance and when it is reversing biased it provides high resistance. During one-half cycles, the diode is forward biased when the input voltage is applied and in the opposite half cycle, it is reverse biased. During alternate half cycles, the optimum result can be obtained.
Full wave rectifier circuits are used for producing an output voltage or output current which is purely DC. The main advantage of full wave rectifier over half wave rectifier is that such as the average output voltage is higher in full wave rectifier, there is less ripple produced in full wave rectifier when compared to half wave rectifier.
