although the AC signal is rectified the output which we get is the pulsating DC which is not desired because many appliances wok on plain DC voltage . The pulsating DC can be viewed as AC + DC component of the signal
ripple factor of a rectified circuit is the ratio of AC component of signal to the DC component of the same rectified output signal. higher the ripple factor says that the signal is not smooth so lesser is its application.
the components used to smooth these type of signals or to remove the 'ripple voltage' as called filters

What is advantage of precision full wave rectifier over precision half wave rectifier?
Either less ripple voltage with the same filter capacitance, or similar ripple voltage with smaller filter capacitances (and thus physically smaller filter capacitors).
What is the relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a FULL-wave rectifier?
The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave. If the input is a square wave, the output is DC. If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.
If the input frequency to a full wave rectifier is 400Hz what is the ripple frequency?
twice the frequency that is rectified.
What are the advantage and disadvantage of full wave rectifier with filtre?
either less ripple or ability to use smaller filter
Where do you use a full wave rectifier?
Right: Example out of a transformer AC to DCAnother Answer:Anywhere there is AC and DC is required. A full wave rectifier is a circuit that produces a DC pulse using both halves of an AC sine wave - full wave rectifier.
