Half-wave rectifier: one diode, conducts on alternate half-cycles only, giving a low-efficiency pulsating output.

Rectifier: an electronic device/circuit that converts alternating current into direct current, using the unidirectional-conduction property of a p-n junction diode.

Half-wave rectifier circuit: the secondary of a step-down transformer is connected in series with a single diode DD and a load resistor RLR_L.
