Transcription: The topic for this lesson is half-wave rectifiers. For use in most electronic circuits, standard 110 volt 60 hertz AC voltage available is converted into a constant DC voltage by a DC power supply. Rectifiers are the key element in a DC power supply and are usually of the half-wave or full-wave type. They convert AC input voltage to a pulsating DC. The next stage in the power supply is the filter, which eliminates fluctuations and produces a uniform voltage. Finally, the regulator maintains a constant DC voltage correcting any variations in the DC voltage or load. The output from the rectifier ...
