To the left is a schematic of a full-wave rectifier. Again, the important thing to note is that I’m using a 2-prong “wall wart” AC-AC adapter ... capacitor to the DC connections to smooth ...

Welcome back to this week’s installment of Scope Noob where I’m sharing my experiences learning to use my first oscilloscope. Last week I started out measuring mains frequency using an AC-AC ...

The analysis of the rectifier with capacitive load is a classical case ... the input supply voltage and the 'reflection' of the output dc voltage. For this purpose two switching functions are ...

There are two types of rectifiers, the half-wave rectifier (HWR) and the full-wave rectifier (FWR). They both receive an AC input signal with an average dc voltage of zero, and return a DC signal with ...
