Current continues to flow for a while even after the input voltage has gone negative.
5-2
Current begins to flow when the input voltage exceeds the dc back-emf. Current continues to flows for a while even after the input voltage has gone below the dc back-emf.

Overvoltages and inrush currents that follow may be damaging to capacitors and diodes. Possible solution: Use current limiting resistor on the DC side between the rectifier output and filter capacitor. The resistor should be shorted out after few cycles to limit losses.
