Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier ... the 120V line voltage down to 12V. Because of this I’ve used 1N4001 diodes to make the bridge rectifier.

They both receive an AC input signal with an average dc voltage of zero, and return a DC signal with a ... circuitry designs in order to rectify an AC supply or signal. Common rectifier configurations ...

The analysis of the rectifier with ... at the input of the bridge is made up from two components each at a different time slot: the input supply voltage and the 'reflection' of the output dc voltage.
