ALTERNATING CURRENT - NCATT

Operation - Half-Wave Rectifier• During the negative alternation, the transformer in thefirst circuit will pass a negative to the anode (reversebiasing it), while in the second circuit, the transformerwill put a positive potential on the anode (forwardbiasing it)• The diode was facing in the same direction in both ofthese circuits, but because of the phase differencethey receive different alternations• Transformer phase has no effect on output polarity
