Full Wave Bridge Rectifiers

This electronics video tutorial provides a basic introduction into full wave bridge rectifiers which are used to convert an AC sine wave signal into a pulsating DC signal. The electronic components used in this type of rectifier circuits are a transformer, 4 diodes, and a load resistor. To reduce the ripple voltage creating a smooth steady DC output signal - you should a shunt capacitor, an inductor, and a zener diode. The shunt capacitor will help to reduce voltage variations while the inductor will reduce variations in current. The zener diode serves as a voltage regulator.

I am taking an electrial engineering technician program and am currently in an electronics course. I have sat through hours of electronics lectures, done a bunch of practical labs and no one was able to explain this in such a logical manner. I am so glad I stumbled upon your video!! Thank you!!

Finally someone explains why the current won´t go through the upper diode. It´s all about potential difference. Well done!! :D

[@PipenFalzy]

I agree, I was trying to figure out the same thing.

[@Livefree432Livewhole]

Guys I know this is late posting on this comment, but can any of you help me try to figure this question out? These circuit diagrams, are they just diagrams for conventional use only? meaning that if you used this circuit diagram for instance in real life it wouldn’t work as the actually current is flowing negative to positive so the diodes wouldn’t do what you want them to do. Hopefully if you read this you could explain that to me. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks 👍

[@EchterPapaRoachFan96]

@@Livefree432Livewhole These diagrams are designed for conventional flow. However, you can use the same diagrams and just think in the opposite way. The electrons will flow from negative to positive, so they flow from a low potential to a high potential. That also means, that the electrons actually flows toward the "arrow" from the diode. Everything works in the opposite way, well at least the current. If we go to the beginning of the video and let's say that the electrons flow from the transformer through point "C" and "D", through the resistor, then through point "B" and "A"(B because it has the higher potential than C) and finally back to the transformer, then you'll see that the end result is the same.

Was about to say the same! Never heard of potential difference until then. Now it makes sense for me!

[@matthijsperabo7282]

Through just a comment I cannot express enough how grateful I am for your videos and how much they help me in my electrical engineering study, but I hope you see this and know I love every single one of your videos. Thank you so much ❤

[@airmag]

No kiddin! Absolutely the best Bridge Rectification tutorial. Seriously forget all you have seen until now. All is taught with the voltage drops and the infamous "D" junction, where many newbies couldn't understand why the current followed D3 but not D4 though both diodes were on the + side... Kudos to the channel.

Excellent excellent excellent!!!!! When I was learning electronics in tech school (Ohio institute of Technology) in 1975, it took me a couple of weeks to grasp this concept. The teacher was just using a chalk blackboard ect. The graphics would have make it much easier to grasp, but it didn't exist. I haven't looked at this in decades, but I remember it. I also remember the struggle to grasp it at well. Excellent job!!!!

[@SNoCappidona]

yo man i remember when i was going through trigonometry your videos helped so much. Now im here bout to get a bachelors in electrical engineering and i am still coming to your channel for help. by far the best channel for everything school related. thanks a ton man

Is it possible to find out how one calculates best values for the inductor, shunt cap, and load resistor ? Keep up the good work young man.
