Rectifier

A rectifier is a crucial component in electrical and electronic circuits, responsible for converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). This conversion is essential for powering various DC-operated devices such as computers, smartphones, and industrial machinery. Rectifiers come in different types, including half-wave, full-wave, and bridge rectifiers, each with its unique design and efficiency. They are widely used in power supplies, battery charging systems, and electrical transmission applications. By ensuring a smooth and steady DC output, rectifiers play a key role in the stability and performance of electronic systems.
