Title of the Experiment: Study of Diode Rectifiers.

Objectives:
The objectives of this experiment are to
1. Study half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits using semiconductor diodes.
2. Find the different parameter values of half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuits.

Apparatus:

SL# Apparatus Quantity

1 Diode 1
2 Resistance (1 kΩ) 1
3 Capacitors (47 and 100 μF) 1 each
4 Transformer 1
(220V/12V/9V/6V)
5 Project Board 1
6 Function Generator 1
7 Oscilloscope 1
8 Multimeter 1
9 Connecting Leads 10

Experimental Procedures:
1. Measure the actual value of the 1 kΩ resistor.
2. Connect the circuit as shown in Figure 1 without any capacitors.
3. Turn on the AC power supply (function generator) with the voltage control nob at 0 V.
4. Rotate the amplitude control nob from 0 V to 10 V (maximum voltage) gradually.
5. Select the sinusoidal waveform and set the frequency to 100 Hz.
6. Connect the oscilloscope to observe the wave shapes of the input and output voltages in the
dual channel mode of the oscilloscope with no capacitor connected across the load resistance,
R.
7. Measure the peak AC voltage from the oscilloscope screen.
8. Measure the output voltage by a multimeter (DC and AC modes) and compare it to that
obtained from the oscilloscope screen.
9. Record the measured data in Table 1.
10. Turn off the power supply and connect 47 μF and 100 μF capacitors across the load. Observe
the output voltage and measure it using the oscilloscope and multimeter and then compare
them.
11. Turn off the power supply and record the measured data in Table 1.
12. Connect the circuit as shown in Figures 3 and 6 without any capacitors. Then repeat steps 3-
11, but record data in Tables 2 and 3, respectively.

Question:

1. What are the effects and significance of using filter capacitance?


Answer: Applying a capacitor to the output makes the output voltage greater compared to
no capacitor in the output. The capacitor takes the peak output voltage and stores it for a
millisecond as long as another ripple comes from the output, in that case, the voltage
becomes stable and also increases.

Discussion and Conclusion:


In this experiment, working principle of rectifier diodes was learned. In half-wave rectification,
only the positive AC peak voltage is converted into DC. So, the output direct current was not as
good as full wave rectification. In full wave rectification, the out was better because it can take
both positive and negative peaks. Also, the center trapped type rectification was learned in this
experiment which has less conversion rate. Because one of the coils must be in reverse bias
during the other one in process. The electrolyte capacitor was also used in this experiment.
Because the capacitor can store the peak voltage and output its power when needed. By using
a capacitor, it was noticeably visible to the oscilloscope that the output direct current was far
better compared to no use of a capacitor.
