Diode as a rectifier

Diode as a rectifier



The rectifying circuit converts alternating current into direct current. This conversion is critical for household appliances. Alternating current comes from sockets, and direct current is necessary for computers and other microelectronics. Alternating current alternates between negative and positive directions. But direct current flows in one direction. That is To convert a current from an alternating current to a constant one must prevent it from flowing in the negative direction. For this there is a diode. A half-wave rectifier can be assembled from one diode. I have assembled a circuit using yn as the source of the current transformer from the old radio connected to 220V. It lowers the voltage to 5 volts.
