Hello everyone,
I'm reading the book Electronic Devices (9th ed) by Floyd and got a bit stuck with Bridge Full-Wave Rectifier Operation.
In the book, on page 55, the figure below is shown, and the text reads:
"The bridge rectifier uses four diodes connected as shown in Figure 2–38. When the input
cycle is positive as in part (a), diodes D 1 and D 2 are forward-biased and conduct current in
the direction shown."
**broken link removed**
Does this make sense, I would have drawn the current in the opposite direction.
How should one think about this?
All comments appreciated.
John
