Short note on Rectifier

A rectifier is a AC to DC type converter which is used in various applications including power supply and backup supply charger.

The rectifier are of two types:
  • Full wave rectifier
  • Half wave rectifier

Full wave rectifier 

They are generally of two types which are classified as a bridge rectifier circuit and center tap transformer circuit.

Half wave rectifier

They are of just single type made up of two diodes on the secondary end of the transformer.

Introduction to online Virtual labs

The virtual labs are the simulations of the rel version of lab and its components in which students and hobbyist can perform experiments, debug and resolve errors, collect data, and make more perfect design. 
One of the best example of Lab for circuit simulator online is DCAClab.
DCACLab consist of the all the basic electronics components which you use in an electronics lab. The best part is that the User interface is just similar to what we do in an electronics lab.
