This document discusses diode applications in power supplies. It explains how diodes are used in rectifier circuits to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by conducting current in only one direction. It provides examples of half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits, describing how they work and the factors that influence their output voltages. Diodes are the key component that allow rectification in power supply circuits.

DIODE RECTIFICATION:

Diodes are used in circuits called Rectifiers that


converts AC voltage into DC voltage.

They are based on the principle that diodes have the


ability to conduct current in one direction and block
current in the other direction.
