Procedure:
Full wave rectifier utilizes both the cycle of input AC voltage. Two or four diodes are used in full wave rectifier. If full wave rectifier is designed using four diodes it is known as full wave bridge rectifier. Full wave rectifier using two diodes without capacitor is shown in the following figure. Center tapped transformer is used in this full wave rectifier. During the positive cycle diode D1 conducts and it is available at the output. During negative cycle diode D1 remains OFF but diode D2 is in forward bias hence it conducts and negative cycle is available as a positive cycle at the output as shown in the following figure. Note that direction of current in the load resistance is same during both the cycles hence output is only positive cycles.
The hole procedure shown in the video below.
