Half-wave rectifier.
e. Using four diodes, a circuit can be arranged to cause current to flow in
the same direction through the resistor during both the positive and negative half
cycles. The circuit is called a full-wave rectifier, for the whole cycle is
developed across the resistor in the positive direction. (Study figures 30 and 31.)
