With a reference-clip from both probes (channel 1 and 2) connected I’m actually shunting around one of the diodes, effectively turning the bridge back into a half-wave rectifier. That’s ...

The simplest of all filters is a capacitor in parallel with the resistor of the rectifier, as is shown in Fig. 7.3. In this experiment we present a full-wave rectifier. The same idea can be applied to ...
