In a full-wave rectifier, the D.C. load current equals 1 A. How much D. C. current is carried by each diode?

Key Points

In a Full Wave Rectifier circuit, two diodes are now used, one for each half of the cycle.

A multiple-winding transformer is used whose secondary winding is split equally into two halves with a common center-tapped connection, (C).  

Therefore, half of the DC current flows through each diode.

Hence, option (1) 0.5 A is correct.
