A tube or solid-state diode that passes current in only one direction and thus converts ac to pulsating dc by rectification of one alternation of each cycle.
It is a rectifier changing only one half of a cycle of alternating current into a pulsating direct current.
a circuit that allows only one half-cycle of the AC voltage waveform to be applied to the load, resulting in one non-alternating polarity across it
This is a single diode rectifier circuit that will only rectify half of an AC wave's input.
A circuit the converts an alternating sine wave into a pulsating dc consisting of on-half on the sine wave for each input cycle. A circuit that produces pulsating dc by eliminating with the positive alternations or the negative alternations of its ac input.
