Reference Answer
### (a) Bridge Rectifier: Working Principle
A bridge rectifier is a type of full-wave rectifier that uses four diodes arranged in a bridge circuit to efficiently convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). It is widely used in power supplies due to its high efficiency and the fact that it does not require a center-tapped transformer.
#### Circuit and Components
