A single diode cannot be used to full-wave rectify an AC voltage.
Yes, A single diode cannot be used to rectify the full wave of the input signal because it allows conduction only in one direction but it can rectify the half-wave of the input signal.
A half-wave rectifier is such a circuit that uses one diode to rectify the half cycle of the input voltage waveform.
The half-wave rectifier circuit is shown below

5. A diode is used to rectify an ac voltage from a transformer and charge a 1uF capacitor. Estimate how long it will take the capacitor to discharge from 3 volts to 1.5 volts (once ac voltage is turned off) a) with no load b) with a scope probe across the capacitor.

A full-wave diode rectifier supplies a 30Ω resistive load from a 400Hz, 110V single-phase AC supply. A capacitor is connected in parallel with the load. Calculate the capacitance required if the maximum peak-to-peak voltage ripple across the resistor is to be restricted to 10V. You may assume that the RC product of the resistance and capacitance will be significantly greater than the period of the AC waveform. State any other assumptions made.
