    This document describes constructing a full wave rectifier circuit to convert alternating current to direct current. It explains that a full wave rectifier uses two diodes to rectify both halves of the AC wave, improving on a half wave rectifier. The circuit uses a transformer to step down household AC voltage to 6V, which is then rectified by the diodes and filtered by a capacitor to produce DC voltage that lights an LED. The document provides details on connecting the components and how the circuit works during each half cycle to allow current flow in only one direction, producing rectified DC output.

    AIM

    “To construct a full wave rectifier


    and show that Alternating Current
    is rectified into a Direct Current”
    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. So these
    rectifiers are used in most of the electronic
    devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers,and
    Lightings etc.
    MATERIALS
    REQUIRED
    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.
    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 A.C. 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 S1 D1 ABEO
    S1. During this time diode D2 is reverse
    biased. So it does not conduct any
    electric current. During the next half
    cycle, the diode D2 is forward and D1 is
    reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in
    the direction S2D2 ABEO S2and 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.
