- Definição1
- An electrical circuit that changes alternating current into direct current. A rectifier circuits uses one or more rectifier devices, such as semiconductor diodes, vacuum-tube diodes, or metal-oxide rectifiers. These devices act as electron check valves, allowing electrons to flow during one alternation of the AC, but opposing their flow durint the next alternation.
