what is the difference between the diode and the rectifier

Answer Posted / arun talaiva

If A.C is applied to anode of a diode then current will
flow for each positive half cycle through the terminal and
no current will flow for negative half cycles,A.C is
converted into a unidirectional current Hence,It will be
rectified
