Lesson: Current Rectification Physics

In this lesson, we will learn how to identify the output of a current-rectification circuit based on the design of the circuit.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

identify how a time-varying current will change when it is half-rectified or fully rectified,
identify and draw on a graph the time-varying current that will be produced from a circuit that contains one or more diodes, given the input time-varying current,
identify and draw the circuit diagram for a bridge circuit consisting of four diodes.
