Full-wave bridge rectifiers are used in many power supply applications. How are they an improvement over other rectifiers?
What will be an ideal response?
They are an improvement over the full-wave center-tapped rectifier because they do not require the use of a center-tapped transformer and provide more load voltage than the half-wave rectifier and the full-wave center-tapped rectifier.
