FULL-WAVE RECTIFIER. A circuit that uses both positive and negative alternations in an alternating current to produce direct current. There are two types of Full-Wave Rectifier circuits; one that only uses two diodes but requires a center tapped transformer [shown below], and one that uses four diodes and does not require a center tapped transformer [Rectifier circuit using four diodes; Full-wave Bridge Rectifier].
