Rectifiers have two parameters of interest - maximum forward current - and maximum reverse voltage. A rectifier is generally chosen based on these two parameters.
Other parameters include turn-on/turn-off time, forward voltage drop, and capacitance. The importance of these and other parameters depends on the circuit design requirements.

Which rectifier has good efficiency?
bridge rectifier is the best rectifier.
Why do we use rectifier kit?
Working the rectifier
What is use of rectifier?
Rectifier is used to convert alternating current to direct current.
Why bridge rectifier is prefer over center type rectifier for low voltage applications?
there is no need of bulky centre tap in a bridge rectifier. TUF(transformer utilisation factor) is considerably high. output is not grounded. diodes of a bridge rectifier are readily available in market. *the PIV(peak inverse voltage) for diodes in a bridge rectifier are only halfof that for a centre tapped full wave rectifier,which is of great advantage.
Why an op-amp diode rectifier called as a precision rectifier?
In a rectifier made of just diodes, the diodes have a voltage drop, resulting in a lower DC output voltage. By introducing an Op-amp, this voltage drop can be overcome. Since there is no voltage drop caused by the diodes, the rectified signal is not changed by the rectifier, so it is called a precision rectifier.
