Title: Explain how alternating current (AC) is converted to DC voltage.
Course: Small Engine Technology II (20110-II) > Section: Diagnosing and Troubleshooting the General Electrical System

Explanation should include a description of voltage regulation and various methods used to convert AC to DC (e.g., diodes, full wave and half wave rectifiers).

Process/Skill Questions:

- When would AC need to be converted to DC?
- What regulates the voltage on an air-cooled four-stroke engine?
