Experiment No. 2
Object: To observe the output voltage waveform for full wave rectifier circuits with & without
filter 1) Full wave rectifier uses center tapped
1) Learn how to connect full wave rectifier circuits both center tap and bridge rectifier.
2) They are study D.C power supply circuit & checked the output voltage with and without
capacitor.
3) They observe output pure d.c voltage with used capacitor associated smoothing filters
Apparatus (Materials):
A center-tapped rectifier is a type of full-wave rectifier that uses two diodes connected to the
secondary of a center-tapped transformer .The input voltage is coupled through the transformer
to the center-tapped secondary. Half of the total secondary voltage appears between the center
tap and each end of the secondary winding. This condition forward-biases diode D1 and reverse-
biases diode D2. The current path is through D1 and the load resistor RL, as indicated. For a
negative half-cycle of the input voltage, this condition reverse-biases D1 and forward-biases D2.
The current path is through D2 and RL, as indicated. Because the output current during both the
positive and negative portions of the input cycle is in the same direction through the load, the
output voltage developed across the load resistor is a full-wave rectified dc voltage.

Ripple Factor The ripple factor (r) is an indication of the effectiveness of the filter and
is defined as
The ripple factor can be lowered by increasing the value of the filter capacitor or increasing the
load resistance.
( )
The variable Vp(rect) is the unfiltered peak rectified voltage. Notice that if RL or C increases, the
ripple voltage decreases and the dc voltage increases.
