Yep, yep.. half-wave is a single rectifier, full-wave is 2 rectifiers often
with a center-tapped AC source, and full-wave-bridge rectification is 4
rectifiers.

This is for half-wave rect.?

Thanks.

Half-wave and full-wave rectification result in the same peak voltage.
It's just that for full-wave, the peaks occur twice as often.
