during first half cycle when current is flowing anti clock wise , through capacitor, D3 and battery but wouldnt it flow through D1 and cause breakdown of that diode. 220v connected in parallel to Diode IN4007.
where is voltage stepping down in this circuit ?
this circuit will act as half wave rectifier

how capacitor is aiding in 2nd cycle, during 2nd cycle current will come from opposite side through D1 and to (-ve side) of capacitor, and capacitor which was previously charged starts discharging in opposite direction like back to the mains supply. so there will be current addition of capacitor and AC supply current coming from D1. wouldnt that cause problem ?.D1 is forward biased in the 2nd half-cycle. C1 was charged to +ve in the first half cycle. So, it's voltage is in series-aiding in the 2nd half cycle.
