(a) The diode is reverse biased

(b) Full-wave rectifiers

During the positive half cycle of AC input voltage diode D_{1} is forward biased and the diode D_{2} is reverse biased and a unidirectional variable dc output is obtained.

During negative half cycle D_{2} is forward biased and  D_{1} is reverse biased and a  unidirectional variable DC output is obtained.

(b)
