Pre - Lab: Half-Wave Rectifier, and The Constant Voltage Drop (0.7V) Diode Model Calculations

This document discusses calculations and circuit diagrams for half-wave and full-wave rectifiers. For a half-wave rectifier, it calculates the maximum current, DC output current, DC output voltage, and RMS voltage. For a full-wave rectifier, it calculates the maximum current and DC output current. It includes circuit diagrams for half-wave and full-wave rectifiers with resistive and RC loads. Simulation results are provided for different capacitor values.

Half-Wave rectifier, and the constant voltage drop (0.7V) diode model
CALCULATIONS:
For Half-wave rectifier

 Im = Vm /(RL+ rf)
 Im = 10 /(1050)
 Im = 9.52 mA
 Idc= Im/ 3.14
 Idc= 9.52 m A/ 3.14
 Idc = 3.03m A
 Dc output voltage = Idc* RL = 3.03m*1000
 Dc output voltage = 3.03V
 Rms voltage = 4.76V

For Full-wave Rectifier


 Imax = Vs/(2*rf+RL)
 Imax= (10)/(2*50+1000)=9.09 m A
 Idc = 2*Imax/3.14
 Idc = 5.786 m A
 Vdc = Idc*RL
 Vdc = 5.78V
