In this learning activity, learners will learn to calculate the average voltage produced by half-wave and full-wave rectifiers.

Learners see how a bridge rectifier converts an AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this animated object, students observe how the pulsating DC output voltage of a full-wave rectifier is filtered by a capacitor.

In this animated learning object, students read about the operation of a half-wave rectifier.

In this animated lesson, students view how an oscilloscope and a DC voltmeter measure the voltage of a half-wave rectifier.
