How Amplifiers Work: Rectifiers and Filter Capacitors

This video is a continuation of my previously posted Two Sources of Amplifier Hum Video, and explains (in very basic language) the different methods of rectification used in amplifiers and how the filter capacitors function to eliminate the 120 cycle/sec ripple (hum) that remains after the 60 cycle/sec current is rectified. In addition a comparison of commonly used guitar amp rectifier tubes is presented, and different types of diode (solid state) rectification are discussed. PLEASE NOTE: There is an error in the diagram for Half Wave Rectification. The output should be labelled "120VDC (169VDC RMS)" instead of 60VDC. With half-wave rectification, you get approximately the same voltage out of the single diode that you put in, but only half the current, since the negative portions of the waveform (i.e. half the current) are blocked.
