Current draw by a rectifier

This circuit was made to show how the line current demanded by a full wave rectifier is distorted, which causes the appearance of "n" odd harmonics, among which the 3rd is the one with the greatest amplitude and therefore the most important ; that is why this circuit is considered as a non-linear load.
