[@janerikludwighorvath7761]

It would be a neat addition if you quickly explained why the transformer yields a counter-rotational current in relation to the input by for instance drawing a quick transformer with a core and two coils and by lenz law making a quick yet deep demonstration for why. Not trying to be a besserwisser, because theres only one here who knows best - you. Still amazziiiing videos.

can you made some videos on FET MOSFET DIA TRIAC IGPT

[@waterfuel]

Question? - I have circuit diagram from 2005-2008. It has DC to AC Inverter of 120v AC output hooked with diode on each secondary line , that is reversed polarity .( Both different) one way , then other way. My test meter reads both on AC and DC . How do I get proper reading across load resistor on multi meter? This is not supposed to be clipping circuit of very low voltage. Circuit load on paper was inductor coil, diodes and and resistor.

[@rishiroy5262]

Your videos are beautiful !

[@bobbyh.3911]

Except the diode is drawn backward...When I was in Electronic Technology, many moons ago...there were two ways to look at a circuit - Conventional, where a circuit was traced positive to negative and how schematics are drawn - and/or Electron Flow, where the electrons actually flow from neg. to pos. Conventional direction of tracing a circuit was with the arrow... however, electron flow was actually against the arrow. So, when you are referencing actual current flow in a circuit, it should be against the arrow. That way, everyone is on the same page, resulting in less chance of confusion. But if you are using the conventional method, it should be noted... still, at least the blue arrow should be pointing the other way @ 1:30.

[@Ariadne4]

Omg thankss I was so confused on that

[@alb8158]

I dont know where you are in the world but where I am (nyc) electricians aren't taught electron flow, only engineers know about that. most electricians automatically assume that were talking conventional flow.

[@done2913]

thank yu so much this helps me alot 👍🌟

[@rtype4930]

Sir at: 7:17 are you sure that the Vs peak = Vsrms x 0.707 is correct ? Because the form is: Vrms = Vpeak x 0.707

[@diags_1109]

In class, I got the formula Vrms = Vpeak / sqrt2 since his calculation checks out from what I got

[@Ferret488]

I see a problem. You integrated from 0 to pi, so the second half in a full wave is already deleted. It should still be 2x Vpeak.

[@cs-oi4im]

If there is a reverse-biased diode and current is flowing anti-clockwise then the peak voltage would be across resistor or diode? I mean in forward-biased we used peak voltage across the resistor for finding average peak but in case of reverse-biased, the current would first pass through the resistor and then diode so would we calculate final peak voltage across diode or resistor for average peak?

[@owaiswani937]

Great job..

[@ebenezermensah2263]

Since it's a half wave we're working with,the Vrms =V peak ÷2 and not √2 please 🥺

[@farhad_24]

The primary side current of the transformer can not be sinosuidal.

[@bdzack2226]

Ty so much

[@rabbitman444]

thanks

[@MekhaelMagdy-je6wo]

Why does the graph of the V changes ? Ain't the graph changes due to the diode which makes the circuit if it's opened then closed so the current is affected? So why the V isn't a normal Ac graph

[@Innie22]

God...this was very understandable

[@timur2047]

He’s all over the place

[@TheFlexXMLG]

im not an electrician, but why do we need the transformer?

[@yyyiyi]

I thought the current (aka electron) can only flow from cathode to anode? Am I getting it wrong?

[@jhoelwencebayot8899]

Why you are multiplying by √2, if it is half wave it should multiply by 2 to get the Vm. You can multiply it by √2 if it is full wave.

[@Wimu_]

@sudhanshu prakash i dont actually get it, if it its vm/2 after the diode then the Voutput should be vm/2

[@Reem-ir5zi]

What about the drawing.. I will write the peak value?

[@dibyendusamanta420]

Why we use a resistor in series of the out put?? What will happen if I don't add that resistor and simply use the out put.

[@ndirituephraim1912]

Its a resistive load(A load(electrical) is anything that consumes electrical power). A light bulb is an example and a heater. www.theelectricalguy.in/tutorials/types-of-electrical-load-resistive-inductive-capacitive-load/

[@iplaylikeagodz5152]

Pls how are you able to know everything??

[@amossichone9455]

Why did you multiply Vs RMS and the square-root of 2.

it's the formula of rms ,i not quite sure how its work,but wiki rms will give you the answer

thank u organic chem tutor lets make out

[@nephilimshammer9567]

Wrong my god the positive side blocks current you said it takes it

[@sheenatamon8830]

Where did he get 18.15V? Was it supposed to be 18.85V?

[@caidenbeauchamp3237]

18.85 is peak at secondary, you lose 0.7V over the diode and the reading at A and B is that peak.

[@jm-po6bs]

A thousand likes!

[@Alpha-Amir]

why do you multiply by square root 2

[@bayrost4234]

because it is the same as u divide the rms voltage on 0,707 . 1/√2 = 0.707 also

[@averagegeographyenjoyer9034]

[@sarmasadyatmikam6438]

This is not perfect explanation of rectifire.

[@sugarbooty]

In my EE class I was taught to convert the peak pulsating DC voltage to an RMS value by multiplying by .707, then multiplying by .45 for half wave and .9 for full wave. Any reason this could be?

[@kyle1538]

it's the same thing. .45 comes from sqrt(2)/pi. .707 is 1/sqrt(2). that is some dumb math since you're cancelling out the root, dividing by pi is the same.

[@bayrost4234]

1/√2 = 0,707. in your case you divide the peak / ,0707 or you can aslo multiplie the peak at √2

[@jnkmal9519]

So, what's the resistor do?
