Full Wave Rectification Both half-cycle of the input are utilized with the help of more than one diod working alternatively.
TYPES OF RECTIFIERS Rectifier Half-wave Rectifier Full-wave Rectifier Centre-tape full-wave rec. Full-wave Bridge rec.
The center tapped A center tapped rectifier is a type of full wave rectifier that uses two diods connected.

Working: Basic operation of a center-tapped full-wave rectifier. Note that the current through the load resistor is in the same direction during the entire input cycle, so the output voltage always has the same polarity.
Effect of Barrier potential on the Full wave rectifier output.
Diode reverse voltage (D 2 shown reverse-biased). The PIV is twice the peak value of the output voltage plus a diode drop.
