Without knowing the applied voltage, I don't think anyone can decipher this. I suspect that the problem statement isn't complete...

Fig: Full bridge rectifier output I calculated above parameters for full wave bridge rectifier, so if Vm of the sine wave...

Hi, I am a neurosurgeon from Turkey with an interest in physics. I don't have formal training in theoretical physics or advanced...

Are you familiar with integral calculus? Like finding the average value of an arbitrary curve.

Yes. But you could give it a variable name, like V, and write an equation. A galvanometer like this one will measure the average value...

TIL: Pillar Drill = Drill Press (I think). Y'all talk funny over there. Anyway lathes and milling machines aren't required. I could do...

What you describe is just an odd plasma. It is odd because it is completely ionized and because the two charge carriers are...

Your post ends with a question mark, but I'm not seeing the question. Keep studying, you'll get it. Otherwise I'm not sure how we can...

The "Y" in "DIY" stands for yourself. We can't tell you the best way for you to solve the mechanical mounting problem with your tools...

I enjoy pedantically correcting minor errors of virtual strangers I will never meet in person. For example, your first bullet item...

Or good risk assessment. I doubt that he was nonchalant. It took him more than 40 years to die of cancer at age 70, which also happened...

I don't think high voltage distribution wires (in air on poles or towers) are coated with insulation. That would just add weight and...

Also, thicker wire will hold more ice. Ice on overhead wire is bad news. Heavy ice on wires alone is not necessarily why they come down...

Well, if it’s confessiom time I must admit I don’t use the glasses much. I bought them too dark and the beam path is very short. The key...

Y'all would be appalled at what engineers did in the cowboy days of the laser manufacturing business. They were careful (usually, LOL)...
