Abstract
A fast reset degaussing system includes a full wave rectifier bridge having a degaussing coil coupled in series therewith to a source of operating AC power. A variable current element is provided by a field effect transistor which produces a variable load upon the full wave rectifier bridge. An RC charging circuit is coupled to the control electrode of the field effect transistor to cause an exponentially decaying current within the transistor and thereby impose an exponentially load upon the full wave rectifier bridge. The degaussing coil current responds directly to the load imposed upon the rectifier bridge by the field effect transistor and produces an exponentially decaying alternating current suitable for cathode ray tube degaussing.
