Bridge rectifier breadboard layout

A very neat and compact layout of a bridge rectifier circuit on a prototyping breadboard. My students should note that coursework marks are awarded for neat and organised circuit layouts like the one shown.

Thank you for this clear explanation & useful tips!

Very great video! I cant wait to try it. Question tho, hypothetically if you were to reverse these diodes would the circuit fail? Or would it just reverse the polarity

Glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding your question, why don't you sketch it on paper and see if you can figure it out? I'm confident you can do it.

120 VAC is a dangerous voltage. I like your use of the inverter to reduce the explosive Wattage a regular AC outlet will provide.
Old days we used solder terminal straps.
Screw terminal Jones Strips would be the next choice.
We now have nice euro style NYLON Terminal Strips that are fairly well insulated. What are you using the High Voltage DC for? Any filters to smooth out the waveform?

Hello David, you are correct - 120 VAC is a dangerous voltage. I'm UK-based so mains voltage is around 230 VAC (339 V peak) but I used an isolating step down transformer in this video to bring it down to a safe voltage.

Is it normal, diode markings come off with touch?
