    This document outlines the aim, materials, circuit diagram, and working of a full wave rectifier circuit. The aim is to construct a full wave rectifier and show that alternating current is rectified into direct current. The circuit uses a transformer, diodes, capacitor, and resistor. During each half cycle, one diode conducts while the other is reverse biased, allowing current to flow through the circuit in one direction only, rectifying the AC into DC. The capacitor and resistor further filter any remaining AC components to produce smooth direct current output.

    "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.

    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 centre 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 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 A.C. appearing
    across the secondary the RMS value and the peak value is
    8.4 volts. During the 1st half cycle of the ABC. input Diode DI
    is forward biased and a current 'I' flows in the circuit in the
    direction S IDI ABEOSI. During this time diode D2 is reverse
    biased. So if does not conduct any electric current.

    During the next half cycle, diodeD2 is forward and DI is


    reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in direction S2D2
    ABEOS2and DI does not conduct any current. In subsequent
    half cycles of the A-C current the above processes are
    repeated. ln 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 ADC 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 output. As this is a
    simple circuit, only one capacitor and a resistance being
    used. But there will be slight factor of A-C. current still left in
    output but it is negligible. The output Direct Current and
    voltage light up the LED.
