Exam points
- Convert between peak and rms voltage or current and use waveform period to calculate AC frequency or interpret sinusoidal output.
- Identify and sketch AC-to-DC waveforms from single-diode and bridge-rectifier circuits, including current direction and full- or half-wave output.
- Interpret the effect of a smoothing capacitor on a rectified output and sketch the resulting potential-difference waveform across the load.
