Let's design and build a half-wave rectifier and a full bridge rectifier with diodes. Let's test it and see how a capacitor can smooth out the ripple in the output. This is the first step in building AC to DC converters in power supplies.
This video series introduces basic AC circuit design and analysis, how transformers and switches like relays and transistors are used, and finally in later videos a power supply is designed from basic principles.
