architecture. This is done by twisting a valve to control a supply of water, or a little amount of electricity to control a gate on a much bigger supply of electricity. The base, collector, and emitter are the three components that make up a transistor. The base serves as the bigger electrical supply's gate controller. The emitter serves as the outlet for the greater electrical supply, which is located in the collector. The amount of current flowing through the gate from the collector can be controlled by sending different amounts of current from the base.  This allows for the regulation of enormous currents, such as those in amplifiers, with extremely small currents. The identical procedure is used to generate the binary code for digital processors; however, in this instance, a voltage threshold of five volts is required to open the collector gate. The transistor is being utilized in this fashion as a binary swi </div> <a class='snippet-fade r-snippet-fade hidden' href='https://www.prasunbarua.com/2022/07/how-transistor-works.html'></a> </div>

The Zener diode works like a regular general purpose diode made of PN silicon junction and when it is forward biased. That is, anode to its cathode it behaves like a normal signal diode carry rated current.  However, unlike a conventional diode which blocks all current flowing through itself when reverse biased i.e. cathode becomes more positive than anode, as soon as reverse voltage reaches a predetermined value, Zener diode start to lead in the opposite direction.

half cycle, and it is not practical to use this type of circuit to generate a continuous DC power supply. However, the full-wave bridge rectifier gives us a higher average continuous value (0.637 Vmax) with less ripple superposition while the output waveform is twice the frequency of the input power supply frequency.  We can develop the average DC output of the rectifier while reducing the AC variation of the rectifier output by using smoothing capacitors to filter the output waveform. Smoothing capacitors or condensers connected in parallel with the load through the output of the full-wave bridge rectifier further increases the average DC output because the capacitor acts as a storage device as shown below. The smoothing capacitor converts the rippled full-wave output of the rectifier into a smoother DC output voltage.
