Give two differences between a half wave rectifier and a full wave rectifier.
Marking-scheme solution
| Difference between half wave and full wave rectifier 2 | |
| Half Wave Rectifier | Full Wave Rectifier |
| 1. Only one half of signal is rectified. | 1. Both halves of the signal are rectified. |
| 2. Frequency of output is same as of input frequency. | 2. Frequency of output is double that of the input frequency |
| 3. One p-n junction diode is used | 3. Two diodes are used. |
