EveryCircuit - Bridge rectifier

There are a few reasons you might want the capacitor there, and you might want in inductor connected in series there as well, but it depends what is this rectifier used for. For a digital circuit you might need to play a little bit with it in order to make a more stable DC signal.

This particular diagram it works perfect with a transformer and one resistor. Here probably the app has parameters that doesn’t allowed to work properly.

@Giomix. First of all I don’t need electronics lesson.Second of all , that I am saying is that you don’t need a cap in real life for this schematic. This app doesn’t simulates real application 100% because it is based on a algorithm (like all softwares).

Go do your homework and answer your question. Because I don’t like your attitude. You are rude.

What’s your issue? You don’t understand comprehension ? I said anything for oscilloscope? I said in real life application.Now, for the lesson that you saying; let my employer judge this after 20 years of success . And that’s the reason that I calling you rude.You started referring technical terminology from books and etc. when my diagram trying simple to show how a rectifier works, so a beginner can gain some strength and continue exploring the world of electricity and electronics.

Also the app crashes all the time on my IPad and every time change my diagrams values. For this reason I am saying it differs from real life because the circuits are base on a algorithm.

You have issues for real. I am telling you that the app crashes all the time and changes the values by it self and you saying whatever makes you feel better. You can get away from my posts? Please do it.

There's a small wiring mistake in your bridge rectifier. Here's your version, but corrected: http://everycircuit.com/circuit/6707313057202176

Thers's one more small mistake in your circuit. Its suppose to be 60Hz and not 60000Hz.

Hope you can follow with an iPad http://everycircuit.com/circuit/5002402233843712

hurz, you're using non-E6 (for cap) and non-E12 (res) values! :P

thank you people,but all these that you telling are completely different on my ipad screen.My screen says 60hz.now i am gonna check it from the pc. but why?

Bushmills

Dunno - what does the time base on scope say (the number and unit bottom left in scope display)?

hurz

@Bushmills, i have not changed that, must i or he or apple :p

Bushmills

Blame tolerances.

excuse me but i feel stupid...check now what it doing.lol. i check both diagrams(Bushmills,hurz). Hurz whats the differnce? Bushmills yours works perfect but why, because of the app?

A 200uF should keep it more stable.

Bushmills

Just a single correction to wiring, and changing ground reference. I also brought down LED forward voltage from 8 to 2 Volt. Other than that, it's still your diagram. And, resistor and capacitor values were changed to common values, resistance such that it limits current through LED to 20mA (close to).

I have seen so many times users blaming this app or mobile or provider or weather or .... Maybe only in 0.1% of cases correct. Sorry, but 99.9% are userfaults

Bushmills

Shorten time base by swiping scope screen right, until it says 100ms or 200ms.

3uF with 60Hz does behave different then with 60000Hz, dont blame the app

listen i copy both of you diagrams and doesnt work for me.You previews guys workj perfect but for me doesnt give either the phases from the ac...

i can post picture here somehow? maybe for you when i post it works but for me no.

better now?

Bushmills

I can't say - I don't use an ipad. But if it works better for you, then it should be.

LOXIAS1821

no from whatever u use.the result how it looks?

Bushmills

Rectified with a ripple amplitude of about 0.45V

Now all bugs are gone and replaced, namely: 60Hz, 2V LED forward voltage, bridge wiring to explode a single diode, resistor value increase, capacitor increase, volia it works! Just the layout and the component values are questionable.

You know something. I am not here to prove something and also I am an adult. The thing is that other users with ipad referred issues like mine at the past?

Bushmills

6 years ago

Not that I can recall. There's very little about differences between iphone/ipad and Android in the forum. My impression is that EC appears to work more or less identically on both. There's one user who explained that for taking over values, pen and paper is needed for Apple devices while they can be copied and pasted with Android, but that shouldn't affect simulation as such.

LOXIAS1821

pfffff. Because u saw what happened. I was trying to figure out whats going on; the other right away to accuse me.

Bushmills

6 years ago

Well, fact is that your bridge rectifier had errors in it, causing it to misbehave on both platforms.

Bushmills

6 years ago

I doubt that Apple can be blamed for those.

i understand but i was trying to explain, but he right away " i hope nobody gonna take it as an example. '

Anyway, people are just in a phase of cooling down a bit. You remember your previous post on transistors, was it? Since one of those two has (again) been blocked access, things have gotten more relaxed again, but it may take a few days until involved people can revert to their former self.

LOXIAS1821

lol......anyway...i like to use my ipad but the results are catastrophic.

4:3 screen is nice for EC indeed. I prefer using it on a 4:3 screen tablet too

I agree @Bushmills, after years of investigation an observations the core results of simulation are 100% identical, even floating point math from coproz is identical (also the math lib is identical), there is only a difference in comfort or feature like this copy and paste which is on apple paranoid blocked and on android free. Others? idk. But if we start to compare [nV] in simulation iPad against Android, its 100% identical.
