Physics Form Five: Chapter 4 - Half and Full Wave Rectification

Rectification is the process of converting alternating current to direct current.






Example of diode

Half wave rectification

Full wave rectification

Smoothing Voltage

• The purpose of smoothing voltage is to get a more stable and steady current.
• The capacitor must be connected parallel with load in the circuit.
