Half Wave Rectifiers

This electronics video provides a basic introduction into half wave rectifiers which convert an AC sine wave signal into a half wave pulsating DC signal using a transformer, a diode, & a load resistor.

After So many years, this video is still helpful ✨
Thanks a lot Sir 😊

[siannarosario]

I searched this topic and the way I became so happy when I saw that you've covered this on YouTube 🎉

[MohammedRedwan]

I'm watching this during my finals week. I wish i had watched these early on in the semester. Such a better understanding vs in class.

[kanyesada]

We’ve literally went through this today in class. My professor gave us half wave, full wave, and bridge all in one. I was lost these videos are helping me pass 😭

[mohamedzarei]

I love this channel, and I really appreciate everything you do. it helped with all the courses since the first year of engineering. You and ChatGPT cannot be replaced. Wish you all the best brother.

Thank you very much for your video, it helped me a lot, but I just have a small comment for whoever is wondering. The video’s method (5.78V) is slightly overestimated because it does not subtract VD/2. The accurate result is closer to 5.65V. The error arises from assuming the diode drop only reduces the peak voltage, not its average over the entire period.

Five stars

No one is perfect, but u r close to perfection bro!
5 stars!!!

[PunmasterSTP]

After your wonderful description of the circuit, I wasn't quite sure what the rest of the video would have in store. But thanks so much for going through the derivations behind converting from rms to peak and finding the average power. You always go above and beyond in your videos!

[jasonyang]

It is simply not fair that we paid a lot to the uni but don't get quality content like this.

[germanabingii]

Thanks to you Julio Gonzalez the speaker behind this videos I learned a lot❤️

[muhammadhasham]

thank you so much mr tutor
you've been a help in every subject for so many years

[iwxpwzh]

Why colleges and schools don't have teachers like you ? Life would be easier

[boltedjester]

I swear ❤❤❤❤❤ you have a heart from me I used this to prepare for class I missed thanks a lot

[TheGameometer]

Watching this 30 minutes before my paper😂😂

[mrpiseth]

My university life thanks to this man. 🥳

[kaviya.p]

U are really super cool 💕 and your voice is just ❤️ and the way u speak English is just fascinating ❤️actually I really don't know why I like u may be cause of your voice and style I know u won't read this comment it's ok but this gives me satisfaction that I share my lovable thoughts bout u

[another-learner]

Thanks for explaining the Cal part. It shined some light on the whole Vavg part.

[nonsmokerz]

these videos are the only reason i am passing my college electronics courses

[DOCUMENTARYRECORDS]

Hey organic chemistry can u plz make a full video on all parts of half and full wave rectifier like about piv, ripplr factor, form factor etc. Plz

[nokukhanyacele-dmym]

I am writing tomorrow this is very helpful thank you
