By checking the output V while operational. There is also a static test for resistance.
If the rectifier is wye connected, ripple will increase. If it is delta connected, ripple will substantially increase. Whether or not the rest of the rectifier, filter, and regulator are damaged will depend on how much current is being pulled by whats left, and by how deep the ripple actually becomes.
A: actually a full wave rectifier does not regulate. It will however follow the input minus diodes voltage drops. depending on current it is assumed to be .6 to .7 volts for silicon diodes.
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Filter capacitors smooth out the pulsating DC. Without the capacitors, the pulsating DC drops to zero at the AC crossing point, unless it is a three phase rectifier. Sometimes, that is sufficient. Sometimes, they are followed up with a regulator circuit that further stabilizes the DC.
Basically yes- It uses a rectifier in place of a regulator
Inside the voltage regulator on the alternator.
The voltage regulator/rectifier is mounted on the battery case.
A rectifier usually means a (set of) electronic components that turns AC into DC, which you need to charge a battery for instance. A regulator - well, it regulates something. Considering the category the question is posted in I'd say it regulates the charging of the battery and/or the output voltage of the rectifier.
Are you referring to the Rectifier in the Alternator? Simply, a rectifier turns the AC voltage produced my the alternator to run the electrical components in your vehicle and turns it into DC voltage to recharge your battery.The purpose of rectifier assembly is to turn the AC voltage. This is in a car.

The regulator/rectifier is usually at the front of the scooter. You should see it after removing the panel with the headlights.
The rectifier-regulator on a 2000 vstar 1100 classic is located on the right side of the bike. On the rear of the engine there is a large chrome cover the rectifier is behind this cover.
check for stator AC output first, check specs for your year, that has to work properly under load to go any further, then check for 12.75-13.50 VDC at the battery with it running, if it tests OK at the stator plug and shows battery voltage dropping instead of climbing at fast idle, suspect the rectifier/regulator It is impossible to test the rectifier, but it is built into the regulator/rectifier and you can test the regulator. Buy a manual!
could be a regulator if it is separate from rectifier, could be a faulty rectifier (ive had a new faulty one)
A regulator is referring to a regulator rectifier which converts the ac voltage put out by the stator to dc voltage and regulates it to a consistent voltage usually 12-14 volts dc.
