Option 3 : Output voltage is obtained across the load resistance, RL

We know the differences between the half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier. Some differences are: One diode and an ordinary transformer are used in half wave rectifier whereas two diodes and centre tap transformer are used in full wave rectifier.

A half wave rectifier converts half cycle of applied AC signal into DC signal whereas a full wave rectifier converts the whole cycle of applied AC signal into DC signal.

In half wave rectifier, the peak inverse voltage value is E0 and in full wave rectifier, the peak inverse voltage value is 2E0.

At the same time, both half wave and full wave rectifiers have some similarities. They are: Output voltage is obtained across the load resistance, RL that is unidirectional and mixture of both alternating and direct voltages. And the direct components are more than alternating components in output.
