Fullwave And Halfwave Presentation

Introduction
Fullwave and halfwave are rectification techniques used in electrical circuits. These techniques are used to convert AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current). Rectifiers play a crucial role in various electronic devices and power supplies.	Image Source

Halfwave Rectification
Halfwave rectification allows only one half of the AC waveform to pass through. During the positive half-cycle, the diode conducts and allows current flow. During the negative half-cycle, the diode blocks current flow.	Image Source
