A rectifier is an arrangement of diodes connected in a bridge circuit. It provides the same polarity of output voltage for any polarity of the input voltage which is to be transformed.  1. Sketch circuit diagrams for your design of two different types of rectifier.   2. Sketch Voltage vs. Time diagrams for the input and output voltages based on your circuit diagram from ( Q1).  3.  If it is necessary to improve the DC output voltage, which type of component may be used and where should it be included in the circuit? (Show this in your diagram).  4.. Please List key issues when you select diodes for this application.
