yes, diode can be used as rectifier diode to convert ac to dc
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
A simple rectifier circuit uses a diode and there is a turn ON voltage for the diode. The input voltage has to exceed the turn ON voltage (0.6V for ordinary Si diode) before rectification is achieved. A precision rectifier is an active circuit using an opamp and a diode in the feedback loop. This overcomes the turn-on "knee" voltage. The op amp reduces the turn-on voltage of a diode in its feedback loop by a factor equal to the open-loop gain of the op amp. For practical op amp gains this reduces the forward voltage to a fraction of a mV, thus giving a "precision" or near ideal diode characteristic for the rectifier function.
a 2 diode rectifier is a center tap rectifier an a 4 diode rectifier will be a bridge rectifier *********************************************************** A two-diode rectifier is not always a centre-tap rectifier. If the two diodes are connected to the same end of a transformer's secondary, one by its anode and one by its cathode, one will proved a positive voltage with respect to trhe other end of the winding and the other will provide a negative voltage. (But perhaps that isn't considered a two-diode rectifier - but a two single-diode ones.)
diode is nonlinear device,so device from diode is also nonlinear
Nothing will happen to the diode but that rectifier effectively becomes a half-wave rectifier.
yes ofcourse diode can be used as rectifier but it's an uncontrolled rectification.
A diode is used primarily as a Rectifier
A diode is used to stop the negative voltage swing in an AC signal, so you only get the positive portions.diode-rectifier

No. Diodes are diodes. One diode can be USED as a half-wave rectifier. Four diodes can be used to build a bridge rectifier.
the usual semiconductor rectifier used in the microwave band is a gunn diode. Vacuum tube diodes are sometimes used too.
A rectifier can convert AC to pulsating DC.
Yes **************************************** Yes they can but there are pitfalls. A normal diode will have a high reverse breakdown voltage. A zener has a relatively low breakdown voltage (its "zener"voltage). If a zener diode is used as a rectifier it must have a zener voltage at least twice the peak of the applied a.c.
Diode rectifies the AC signal. So it was called as rectifier. ******************************************** Rectification means changing a.c. to d.c. A diode is a one-way device, i.e. it allows current to pass in only one direction, so it is the obvious choice for rectification.
