JN>  A full-wave rectifier uses TWO diodes.
JN>  A bridge doubler uses FOUR diodes.

 A full-wave rectifier CAN use only 2 diodes
(with a center-tapped transformer); and, a
bridge rectifier CAN be used as a voltage
doubler; but, a bridge rectifier can also be
used as a full-wave rectifier WITHOUT being
a voltage doubler; and therefore, a full-
wave rectifier does not HAVE to consist of
only two diodes (not to mention that two
diodes can be used as a voltage doubler).
