"Throughout the period of time during which the plate of V2 is negative, the plate of V1 is positive". Can anyone please explain why this is the case?

Full wave rectification is a process in which alternating current (AC) is converted into direct current (DC) by using a bridge rectifier. This allows for the flow of current in only one direction, resulting in a smoother and more consistent output.
Full wave rectification uses a bridge rectifier to convert both the positive and negative halves of an AC signal into positive DC. Half wave rectification only converts one half of the AC signal, resulting in a less efficient conversion and a less steady output.
Full wave rectification has a higher efficiency and produces a more stable output compared to half wave rectification. It also allows for the use of smaller and less expensive components, making it a more cost-effective solution.
Full wave rectification is commonly used in power supplies, battery chargers, and AC-DC converters. It is also used in various electronic devices and appliances, such as televisions, radios, and computers.
One potential disadvantage of full wave rectification is the production of higher harmonics, which can cause interference and distortion in the output signal. This can be mitigated by using filters or other techniques to reduce the harmonics.
