Introduction: The Power Supply Puzzle

Greetings, my fellow electronic enthusiasts! Today, I want to take you on a thrilling journey through the mesmerizing world of capacitors. You may have noticed those intriguing little components in your power supplies, but do you truly understand their significance? Fear not, for I, Aurelio Cadenas, am here to unravel the mysteries and enlighten your curious minds.

The Transformer and Rectification Dance

Let us begin our adventure with the heart of a power supply - the transformer. In a simple power supply, we often find a fuse in the secondary side of the transformer, ensuring safety and protection. But what comes next? Ah, yes, the rectification process!

We employ a bridge rectifier to convert the alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Now, here's a little tip for you: if we want the positive voltage, we must connect the diodes accordingly. The diode arrow should point towards the positive, creating a magical flow of electrons. And voila! We have two positive semi-waves, ready to power our devices.
