diode and retifier application??

i have a question are diode and rectifiers used in electrical transformers?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Nope...

But if by "transformer" you mean those little wall-warts, yes. They convert AC to DC, which is what rectifiers do.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
