Kevin Weddle Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) They always conduct. No matter what.These two circuits are different. Resistors don't clamp a voltage. The voltages halve, halve, and halve again until Vp.ac.pdf Edited September 13, 2015 by Kevin Weddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 The same current flows through parts that are in series so their sequence does not matter.If your series circuits have the same parts values and the same AC input signal then their capacitors charge exactly the same.Your circuits have no input signal so nothing gets halved. A diode rectifies, it does not halve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 If an AC signal is applied to either of those circuits, the capacitor will just charge up, then no current will flow, except that due to the diode reverse leakage and capacitance.

Kevin Weddle Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I know there is a simpler 15V to 45V voltage multiplier than the one I posted. It might be adequate. I won't bother posting that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguru Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 There is no voltage multiplier in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Weddle Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Something I noticed about voltage multipliers. I've never seen two equally charged capacitors reverse bias a diode. But as long as the capacitors are completely charged the diode is reverse biased.

Kevin Weddle Posted October 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) I think at 1Khz, the capacitor could not completely charge in one cycle.No, that's not it. You have to make the resistance higher than the impedance of the capacitor. Edited November 1, 2015 by Kevin Weddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
