    JFET Depletion Regions

    So this is an extract from "Electronic Devices and Circuits", by David A Bell, 5th Edition, Oxford University Press, about an n-channel JFET. "When a gate-source voltage(VGS) is applied with the gate negative with respect to the source, the gate-channel pn junctions are reverse biased. The...

    Sorry to be this annoying, but one final doubt for today(Came home just an hour ago): My teacher once told me that for an AC Supply, a combination of an Inductor, Capacitor and a Resistor would be the best, but not why. Does that apply here as well?

    Then that would mean that we could use a Full-Wave Rectifier all the time, right? Then Half-Wave Rectifiers are obsolete? Also can you please explain how the efficiency of the Half-Wave Rectifier is 40%? Why isn't it 50? I mean, it does not give any output when the Input Voltage reaches a...

    Thanks a mil.This is easier to understand now. So, from what I gather, using the Capacitor smoothens out the AC Wavefromjust enough for it to resemble a DC Waveform. So can we add many Capacitors to the circuit in order to completely convert an AC Waveform into a DC Waveform?

    Thank you, this might just be exactly what I needed.

    Like I said, I am still an Electronics Virgin. I understand that a Half-Wave Rectifier is one of the basics. I just want a really solid base to begin with. However, nothing from what I have read in my textbook tells me what a Half-Wave Rectifier is practically used as, what it looks like, or how...

    Hey Guys, I'm new here, and I've had only a rudimentary training in the basics of Electronics, and I somehow can't seem to be able to wrap my head around it in any possible way. My Teacher really can't seem to be able to help me. So, I just needed to know, is there any really good Reference Book...
