What is exactly happening when AC power is being converted to DC energy?
In: Technology
AC – electrons moving back and forth in the circuit
DC – electrons moving in one direction
AC-DC – using a circuit made of diodes (which function as a one way street for current) you make a circuit, where both the positive and negative phase of the AC is contributed to positive part of DC. (Effectively making an abs(ac) funtion. Then you just smooth this output using filter (capacitor and resistor) and you get a DC
