Rider (.Continued from page 43) essary, the reader understanding that current flows in the rectifier circuit when the correct conditions obtain. Thus, one part of a typical half-wave rectifier system is shown in Figure 105. The arrows indicate the assumed direction of the flow of current. (This is exactly opposite to that based upon the use of the electronic stream as the plate current.) The additional element is the capacity C. What is its function? Let us see. During the moment that the plate is positive, current flows in the external circuit and also through the tube. This means that a charge is applied to the capacity C. This charge voltage starts from zero, builds up to maximum and again decreases to zero, all in l/120th of a second if the line supply is 60 cycles. Refer to Figure 106. The dashed line wave represents the plate voltage input into the tube. The heavy curve represents the current output during one half of each cycle. The dot-dash curve represents the charge across the condenser. After its initial charge to the peak value, the charging voltage decreases and when the plate is negative there is no charge being applied across the condenser and the charge within the condenser decreases. This continues until the voltage applied to the plate is again positive, at which time the condensers receive a new charge, raising its voltage once more to the peak value. Now the discharge of the condenser between the moments of charge depends upon value of the capacity and the associated circuit, in this case R and not the tube. If C is small, the charge stored is small and the greater will be the variation in the charge present in the capacity between the moment that it is charged to the peak value and the time at which it receives its next charge. Supplementary to this is the effect of the load resistance R. The higher the value of this resistance, the less will be the discharge of the condenser for any constant period of time elapsing between the time of charge and the next moment of charge. The lower is the resistance R, the more rapidly will the condenser discharge for any one period of time. By making the capacity large, the difference between the peak voltage at one instant and the value of voltage remaining after the condenser is subject to partial discharge during the time that the tube plate is negative, is made small. Thus, there is present across the resistance, a source of voltage, the capacity C, which supplies current through Rm during the period that the plate is negative and the tube is at rest. The subject will receive further attention in Lesson 28.
