What is the function of a diode bridge?

Step 1: Understand that there are two types of current: Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC).
Step 2: Know that AC changes direction periodically, while DC flows in one direction.
Step 3: A diode is a device that allows current to flow in only one direction.
Step 4: A diode bridge is made up of four diodes arranged in a specific way.
Step 5: When AC is applied to the diode bridge, it allows both the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform to pass through.
Step 6: The diode bridge converts the AC into DC by blocking the negative part of the waveform and allowing only the positive part to flow.
Step 7: The result is a smoother DC output that can be used to power electronic devices.
