How Do You Calculate the Resistance of a Rectifier When Sending AC Through It?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the resistance of a rectifier when sending AC through it, consult the rectifier's data sheet, which typically includes a fixed voltage drop and dynamic resistance. Understanding these parameters is essential for accurate circuit analysis and performance evaluation. The discussion highlights the importance of knowing the rectifier's specifications for effective application. Additional context on the necessity of calculating resistance was requested, indicating that this may not be a common concern for all users. Accurate resistance calculations can enhance circuit design and efficiency.

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'

So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
