11A battery charger plugs into a 230 V a.c. supply. The charger is used to charge a 6.0 V d.c. battery.
The charger contains diodes and a transformer.
What is the purpose of these components?- AA diodes: rectify the a.c.; transformer: steps down the voltage
- BB diodes: rectify the a.c.; transformer: steps up the voltage
- CC diodes: step down the voltage; transformer: rectifies the a.c.
- DD diodes: step up the voltage ; transformer: rectifies the a.c.
