Alternating current

Cards (2)

  • Rms value:
    Irms=Irms=Io/2Io/√2
    rms=rms =peakvalue/2 peak value/√2
  • Rectification from DC to AC:
    1. HALF WAVE RECTIFICATION: Add a diode tp avoid current flow in 2 direction. Graph will have positive curve only,
    2. FULL WAVE RECTIFICATON: Add 4 diode, 2 parallel. This will allow positive current to travel. Graph will have positive curves with the negative turn in positive.
    3. SMOOTHING: Add a capacitor. This will allow the graph to flow in a more horizontal line.
