a) In a half-wave rectifier, what causes the difference between the amplitude of the input AC voltage to that of the amplitude of the output voltage?

b) In a full-wave rectifier, what causes the difference between the amplitude of the input AC voltage to that of the amplitude of the output voltage?

c) Why is the value of the output voltage of a full-wave rectifier lower than the output voltage of a half-wave rectifier?


d) What causes the differences between the average dc voltage of a half-wave and a full-wave rectifier?
