BRIDGE RECTIFIERS - HOW THEY WORK - WHAT IS A DIODE - SEMI-CONDUCTORS - CONVERT AC VOLTAGES INTO DC

In this video from LearnElectrics we will take a simplified look at five volt power supplies and at the semiconductor diodes, rectifiers, and other devices that make up the module. In today’s electronic households, small power supplies are becoming more and more common. So how do they work?
Many questions have been asked - including …
How do bridge rectifiers work?
What is a diode and how does it work?
What is inside a five-volt power supply?
How should a bridge rectifier be connected?
Why are there capacitors in the power supply, and what do they do?
Power supplies and the components that make them will come in many shapes and sizes but understand this video and you will have the basic knowledge that will help you with most power supplies.
This is video number 244 and to view all our videos type in LearnElectrics all one word into the UA-cam search bar.

If you understand something, then you can explain it to ANYONE. Dave understands electricity at the highest level. Thank you for sharing

Nice of you to say so, but we are all still learning. Stick with it, its a good trade and taken me around the world working. Dave.

Great bitnof basic electronics with a great explanation 👍

[@learnelectrics4402]

Glad you liked it, more to come. Dave.

[@aminulislam9301]

Excellent explanation thank you sir.

Thank you for your content, easily one of the best explanations I’ve seen on this subject

[@learnelectrics4402]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching. Dave.

Learn electrics videos are outstanding. Such clear, practical explanation for electricians. I’m grateful.
But I can’t claim that I understood this at all. I don’t think I have the necessary context / precursor knowledge to understand why this content is useful for an electrician. Feels a bit like A level electronics.
