### Today we discussed and explored the working of rectifier.

Rectifier:

- Center Tapped Rectifier

- Center tap transformer as important component for center tap rectifier.

- Working of two diodes for each of the positive and negative cycle of AC Sine wave.

- Designing and working of regulated power supply. Converting Domestic Power supply to 5V.

- Capacitor Role: Smoothing, Reservoir and Decoupling in power supply.

- Designing and Working of Bridge Rectifier.

- How one pair of diode out of two is conducting for each positive and negative cycle?

- Frequency get double after full wave rectification (ie from 50 Hz to 100 Hz).

We used the [Falstad Circuit Simular](http://lushprojects.com/circuitjs) to simulate the above circuits to understand the working of center tapped rectifier and bridge rectifier.
