PROBLEM SOLVED. THANKS.

Hi referring to my attachment

I would just like to check if my understanding of this circuit is correct.

1. When a +ve half cycle of a sine wave goes into first op amp through R1, the expected output of the first op amp is the same as Vin (just negative). Is this correct?

But at the same time, current flows through R3, and that together with the current through R4 from the output of the first op amp results in a signal with a gain of 1 at output of second op amp.

Is this correct so far?

2. For -ve half cycle, the output of first op amp is vout = 0.
But current is still flowing through R3 and going through second op amp, the output at second op amp is twice the input at first op amp, but positive.

Again, is this correct?

Thank you for any help.
Regards.
