13. The Transformer

14. The Transformer (How it works) Alternating current causes changing magnetic field in the primary coil This field is made stronger by the soft iron core which links the changing magnetic field to the secondary coil Changing magnetic field in secondary coil induces emf in its coils

15. The Transformer

18. Transmission of Electrical Power

20. Transmission

21. Rectification The conversion of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) This involves a device that only allows one-way flow of electrons semiconductor diode

22. Half-wave Rectification allows one half of an AC waveform to pass through to the load

23. Full-wave Rectification Full use of both half of an AC waveform to pass through to the load

24. Full-wave Bridge Rectifier Full use of both half of an AC waveform to pass through to the load but multiple waves per unit time (smoother)

25. Capacitor Smoothing Capacitor charges when voltage is rising Capacitor discharges when voltage is falling
