Principle

It can be assumed that the students know about the valve
action of a diode and also have a knowledge of the basic properties
of alternating currents (constant change in magnitude and
periodical change in the direction of the current). They can
therefore predict the essentials of the action a diode will have in
an alternating circuit.

Benefits


No additional cable connections between the building blocks needed - clear arragned and quick setup

Contact saftey due to puzzle blocks system

Corrosion-free gold plated contacts

Doubled earning sucess: Electric circuit diagram on top, real components can be seen unterside



Tasks

Examine the effect of a diode in an alternating current
circuit.
