Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the full-wave rectifier.

What will be an ideal response?


The full-wave rectifier is more efficient than the half-wave rectifier. It operates on both alternations of the sine wave. The higher ripple frequency of the full-wave rectifier is easier to filter. A disadvantage is that it requires a center-tapped transformer. Its output voltage is lower than that of a half-wave rectifier for the same transformer because of the center tap.
