rectification efficiency

What Are The Advantages Of Half Wave Rectifier? Half wave rectifier is a simple circuit. It has a low cost. We can easy to use it. We can easily construct. It has a low number of component, therefore it is cheap. What are the advantages of full wave rectifier and half wave rectifier? Full wave

What Are The Disadvantages Of Full Wave Rectifier? More complected than half-wave rectifier. It requires more diodes, two for center tap rectifier and four for bridge rectifier. PIV rating of the diode is higher. Higher PIV diodes are larger in size and too much costlier. The cost of the center tap transformer is high. What
