This simulation demonstrates the working of a center-tap full-wave rectifier using a transformer with a 10:1 turns ratio and two diodes. The green waveform represents the AC voltage from the transformer secondary, while the red waveform shows the rectified output across the load resistor. In this configuration, each half of the AC cycle is conducted by one of the two diodes, ensuring the output remains unidirectional with both halves of the input signal utilized, giving a higher average DC outpu

This simulation compares three simple half-wave rectifier arrangements and shows how a diode plus different smoothing networks shape the output from a 100 Hz AC source into a DC-like voltage. Top circuit: a single diode feeding a 100 kΩ load. The diode conducts only on positive half-cycles, so the load sees isolated pulses (pulsating DC) at the input frequency; average output is much lower than peak and contains large ripple. Middle circuit: diode 100 nF capacitor in parallel with the 100 kΩ loa
