Anode

In information technology and other fields, calibration is
the setting or correcting of a measuring device or base
level, usually by adjusting it to match or conform to a
dependably known and unvarying measure. For example,
the brightness or black level of a video display can be
calibrated using a PLUGE pattern .
A DC power supply is one that supplies a constant
DC voltage to its load. Depending on its design, a DC
power supply may be powered from a DC source or
from an AC source such as the power mains.
 A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that
conducts current primarily in one direction
(asymmetric conductance); it has low (ideally zero) resistance in
one direction, and high (ideally infinite) resistance in the
Alternating current (AC) is an electric
other. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current which periodically reverses direction. It is
current to pass in one direction (called the the form in which electric power is delivered to
diode's forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite
businesses and residences, and it is the form
direction (the reverse direction). As such, the diode can be viewed
as an electronic version of a check valve. This unidirectional of electrical energy that consumers typically use
behavior is called rectification, and is used to convert alternating when they plug kitchen appliances, televisions, fans
current (ac) to direct current (dc). Forms of rectifiers, diodes and electric lamps into a wall socket.
can be used for such tasks as extracting modulation from radio
signals in radio receivers.

An anode is an electrode through which
the conventional current enters into a polarized
electrical device. It is also the wire or plate having
excess positive charge.
A Bridge rectifier is an Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current
(DC) converter that rectifies mains AC input to DC output. Bridge
Rectifiers are widely used in power supplies that provide necessary DC
voltage for the electronic components or devices. They can be
constructed with four or more diodes or any other controlled solid
state switches.Depending on the load current requirements, a proper
bridge rectifier is selected. Components’ ratings and specifications,
breakdown voltage, temperature ranges, transient current rating,
forward current rating, mounting requirements and other
considerations are taken into account while selecting a rectifier power
supply for an appropriate electronic circuit’s application.
