The Attempt at a Solution
Well I am inclined to say it is a full wave rectifier with a smoothing capacitor. I just cannot see how the current will move through the circuit.
As v_in goes positive, D1 and D2 conduct. D3 and D4 will not conduct. I assume the current will split and so we will have current entering the capacitor through both terminals??
It seems as if once the current has gone in there is no way for it to come out? I really don't understand this diagram! (unless I dont' understand AC properly..)
Thanks.
