FWR PROJECT (K)

Krishna Verma constructed a full wave rectifier circuit for a school physics project. The circuit uses a transformer, diodes, capacitor, resistor, and LED. During the first half cycle, diode D1 conducts and D2 is reverse biased. During the second half cycle, D2 conducts and D1 is reverse biased, rectifying both halves of the AC input into DC output. The capacitor and resistor filter any remaining AC components, resulting in smoothed DC power that lights the LED. The project aims to demonstrate how a full wave rectifier converts alternating current into direct current.

Acknowledgement
The project could have never been possible
without the support of various sources. It is
extremely impossible to thank every
individual who has helped me in
completing this project. Some people have
helped in the basic formularization and
there were sources that helped me in giving
the ideas a physical form/shape. I am
extremely grateful to my teacher,
Mr. VIVEK MISHRA for his invaluable
guidance in the project right from the
beginning. His vital support helped the
project to take a logical and suitable
shape. I take this opportunity to thank
the School authorities, for extending their
full support and cooperation in the
project. Last but not the least; I would
like to thank everyone who has offered a
helping hand when required

Introduction

A full wave rectifier is a device which is used


to rectify all the alternating current
components in an alternating supply and
make it purely a direct current. The two
alternating halves of an alternation current
are rectified in a full wave rectifier which is
an advantage over a half wave rectifier. Most
electronic devices cannot withstand very
high voltage or alternating current due to its
intense high power. The use of batteries in all
devices is not practical as their replacement
and durability is a huge problem as the device
has to be dismantled each time for such a
replacement.

Connection details:

Connections are done as in the circuit. The


A.C. supply is given to both the input wires of
the transformer and the two ends of the
secondary coil is given to the P side of the
two diodes and the N side of the diodes are
twined and then connected to one end of
the capacitor and the other end to the center
tap lead and to the resistor. Further, the other
end of capacitor with the diode connect ion is
connected to the other end of the resistor.
Connect 2 leads on both the ends of the
resistor to measure the output and this is
connected to the +ve & -ve terminals of the
bulb.
Working
1st when the A.C. is supplied to the
transformer, it steps down the 230V main supply
to 6 volts. It has a capability of delivering a
current of 500mA. The 6 volts appearing across
the secondary is the RMS value and the peak
value is 8.4 volts. During the 1st half cycle of
the A.C. input Diode D1 is forward biased and a
current ‘I’ flows in the circuit in the direction S
1D1 ABEOS1. During this time diode D2 is
reverse biased. So it does not conduct any
electric current. During the next halfcycle, the
diodeD2 is forward and D1 is reversed. Hence
D2 conducts current in the direction S2D2
ABEOS2and D1 does not conduct any current.
In subsequent half cycles of the A.C current the
above processes are repeated.
In both the half cycles it is clear that current
flows through the resistor in only one
direction ABE. Even though the voltage
across RL is unidirectional it will still
contain a few A.C components. This is filtered
and made smooth using a capacitor, which
filters 99% of the A.C current. A resistor is
then used to adjust the output voltage.
Capacitor also nearly filters all A.C
components from the supply and resistance is
adjusted for the required output. As this is a
simple circuit, only one capacitor and a
resistance are being used. But there will be
slight factor of A.C. current still left in the
output but it is negligible. The output Direct
Current and voltage light up the LED.
