K6-42: SINE WAVE AND RECTIFIED SINE WAVE

ID Code: K6-42
Purpose: Show the AC output from a generator and how it is converted to full-wave rectified AC using a split ring commutator.
Description: This uses the large hand-cranked generator and an oscilloscope to actually see the shape of the voltage versus time produced by the generator. The double ring commutator puts out AC; the split ring commutator puts out full-wave rectified DC, as seen in the photographs.
