1
New cards

RMS Current

Value of direct current that produces the same mean power as the alternating current in a resistor

2
New cards

Alternating Current

A current whihc periodically varies from positive to negative and changes its direction and magnitude with time

3
New cards

Rectification

Output produced by a bridge rectifier, giving a higher mean power

4
New cards

Half-Rectification

Output produced by diodes in a circuit to ensure current only flows in one direction

5
New cards

Smoothing

Reduction in the output voltage/current
