🔍 Key Concepts

• Rectifier circuits and what they do in power supplies • How diodes conduct in only one direction and block in the other • Difference between rectification (AC to DC) and inversion (DC to AC)

💭 Think About

• In a bridge made of four diodes, think about what happens during the positive half-cycle of the AC input and which diodes conduct. • Then think about the negative half-cycle and which diodes conduct that time—what effect does that have on the direction of current through the load? • Compare what this arrangement does to the waveform across the load: does it become more like DC or more like AC?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm which process is called rectification and which is called inversion. • Recall the basic property of a diode: does it normally allow current in one direction, both directions, or neither? • Check which choice describes a function commonly found in power supply inputs that run from AC mains.
