Converting ac to dc has been accomplished by several different types of rectifiers through the years. Here are a few of the more common types of rectifiers used in the past 100 years. Mercury arc ...

Bending a selenium rectifier disk causes a temporary increase of the current flowing through it in both directions. The effect (discovered in December 1942) is especially pronounced in the reverse ...

Old radios often had selenium rectifiers to convert AC to DC. The problem is that the old units, dating back to 1933, are prone to failure and to release dangerous chemicals like hydrogen selenide. [M ...

IT is a rather common occurrence that the resistance of semiconductor rectifiers drifts after application of a voltage. This effect is particularly strong immediately following the application of a ...

It is shown how the image force can be taken into account very simply by making a minor improvement in the current theory of rectification. The equations obtained have been compared with experimental ...

BURGESS HILL, England - April 11, 2019 - PRLog -- Specialist distributors have been a vital link in the electronics supply chain for decades, but their importance continues to rapidly increase as more ...

When EDN debuted in 1956, it began to provide technical information to electrical and electronics designers as transistors began to change the industry. Take a look at these electronics developments ...
