This simulation illustrates the working of a bridge rectifier for each half cycle of the AC input. In the positive half cycle, two diagonally opposite diodes are forward-biased, allowing current to flow through the load in one direction. In the negative half cycle, the other two diodes conduct, again directing the current through the load in the same direction. The animation clearly shows which diodes are active during each half cycle and traces the corresponding current path, effectively demons

Designed by world-renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid and Santiago Calatrava, these bridges are travel destinations in their own right: http://archdg.co/O4lha9P | Architectural Digest
