Question

What distinguishes the AC input used by a full-wave rectifier?

Options

• It uses both half cycles of the AC input.

• It uses only the positive half cycle and no other half cycle.

• It does not use an AC input.

• It uses one-half cycle only.

Answer 1

A full-wave rectifier uses both half cycles of the AC input. This produces a more continuous pulsating DC output than a half-wave rectifier.
