how to make simple AC to DC converter

AC to DC converter

The key component in an ac/dc converter is a rectifier bridge, typical made of 4 rectifying diodes. These let current pass more easily in one direction than the other. If the two ac input wires are connected by diodes pointing toward one of the outputs and away from the other output, then the sign of the voltage between the output leads won't switch back and forth.  In principle, for modest loads (devices through which the dc current flows) on the output the average dc output current will be the same as the average absolute value of the a input current. The same relation applies to the voltages. That means that if the input ac voltage is, say, 10 V (rms), the average output voltage will be 10 V * 2*sqrt(2)/pi= 9.0 V. So the rms to average dc conversion factor is 0.90.      Under very light load, the output voltage can drift up to the peak input voltage 10V*sqrt(2)= 14.1V. Depending on the application, it may be good to use capacitors to smooth out the output voltage, so it won't go up and down.

AC to DC converter

step 1: same size of 4 diodes

Step 1: ingredients

 Picture of ingredients

needed:

1)four diodes of any size

tools needed:

1)pliers 

thats all you need

Step 2: information about diode

step 2: nature of diode

 Picture of information about diode

diode is a electronic ingredient that

 helps electricity flow in one way.

there are two leads one positive and 

other negative. on the diode one one 

side there is a white coloured small 

band.that is the negative side of diode.

a hand drawn figure of it is given below

Step 3: the diagram of the circuit

step 3:ac to dc converter circuit diagram

 Picture of the diagram of the circuit

this is the drawing of the circuit.

the circuit can be made using this 

diagram even easier

Step 4: the main circuit

step 4: connecting diode
 negative side

firstly take the first diode and
second diode and join their

negative leads together.lets

name this negative sides.just name.

Step 5:

step 5:connecting diode
 positive side

now take the 3rd and 

4th diode and join their

 positive sides together 

as shown,lets name this

 end positive end

Step 6:

step 6:connecting input
 terminals

now take the four diodes.

there are two free ends one 

the first and second diode 

that is the two positive ends.

now join these positive ends

 to the free negative  ends of

 the 3rd and 4th diode.like in 

the picture now lets name these

 ac leads

Step 7: identifiying the poles

step 7: identifiying the poles of
AC to DC circuit

 Picture of identifiying the poles

the circuit is complete.the joining place that
was named ac leads are the ac input.ac electricity
 are to be given through these two ends.the end
 named negative side is the positive dc output that
 is positive dc electricity will come out of it. and
the end named positive side is the negative dc output.that is negative dc electricity will
come out of it.so your ac to dc converter
is ready.have fun with it
