Learn how a bridge rectifier converts AC to DC using four diodes or other switches. Find out the advantages, disadvantages, and examples of bridge rectifiers in power supplies and electronic devices. Bridge Rectifier is a type of Full Wave Rectifier that uses four diodes to form a close-loop bridge . The half-wave bridge rectifier is the simplest form of rectifier and uses only two diodes. It rectifies just one half of the AC input cycle, allowing current to flow during the positive half-cycle.
