THEORY:

Rectification is a method to convert AC (Alternating Current) to DC (Direct

Current) include full-wave rectification and half-wave rectification. In both

cases, rectification is performed by utilizing the characteristic that current flows

only in the positive direction in a diode.

I.Half -Wave Rectifier


 In Half Wave Rectifier, when the AC supply is applied at the input, a positive

half cycle appears across the load, whereas the negative half cycle is

suppressed.

 This can be done by using the semiconductor PN junction diode.

When the p-n junction diode is forward biased, it gives little resistance and
when it is reversing biased it provides high resistance.

 During alternate half-cycles, the optimum result can be obtained. The diode

allows the current to flow only in one direction. Thus, converts the AC voltage

into DC voltage.

 Circuit Diagram of Half Wave Rectifier


In half-wave rectification, only one crystal diode is used. The AC supply to be

rectified is generally given through a transformer. It is connected in the circuit

as shown in figure.
