Why am you losing half the voltage when rectifying secondary side of center-tapped transformer to DC via two 1n4007 diodes?

I think the answer is: if you input voltage to a grounded center-tapped secondary transformer winding, only 1/2 the voltage is applied to each rectifier at a time (sine wave), therefore the rectified voltage measured would be 1/2 that of the total voltage. The peak voltage would be 1.4 x RMS. Hope this helps.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
