What is exactly happening when AC power is being converted to DC energy?
In: Technology
The first step is to step it down to the right voltage, using a transformer to go from 120V AC, to 12V AC. Then, AC power goes back and forth, 60 times a second, So you take a bridge rectifier to make all the AC power go forward. Then you add a capacitor to smooth out the humps in the voltage, and you have 12V DC power
