I recall that site having an error calculating the power in a 1/2 wave rectifier example. Who knows what other mistakes have been made.

Thanks Lionel... didn't know that. As a non-sparky it looked great. Was the error rectified?

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?

No, I emailed the site, he refused to change it, claimed it was right.

Oh, Oh... thanks

Lionel,

TLDR, was it this page? https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/power/single-...

TTFN (ta ta for now)

Hilarious. Half the "COMMENTS" are readers trying to correct the guy and he refutes them all.

I don't think that's the same page as before, but it's also wrong. Using average voltage or current in power calculations is wrong. 2 diodes in series don't each carry half the current. I must have wanted to see the train wreck, otherwise why did I even bother reading that garbage?

The guy who wrote it won't listen. Is it even worth going after the parent company? https://aspencore.com/contact/

Probably this page:
https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/diode/diode_5...

I guess you have to be careful about what you read, in particular, if you are unfamiliar with the material. On first glance, the info appeared to be great.

That seems like it. Just sad to see so much garbage being passed off as an authoritative source.

ugh, that's another 5minutes of my life that's gone forever and little to show for it; even the narrative is atrocious, with sloppy writing and concepts

A better choice, by far, for electrical theory:
https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/

And for learners who enjoy GIF animation:
https://technologystudent.com/elec1/elecex.htm

And for some circuit animation Java applets:
http://www.falstad.com/circuit/e-index.html

And if you want to simulate your own circuits:

Thanks WW... I'll take a gander.
