1. We have found that the simulated data are different from experimental data for example
When we used 47uF capacitor for circuit 1 our output experimental voltage was 9.6v, but our
simulated voltage was 11.8v. the difference is 2.2v
2. We took image from oscilloscope while doing experiment, we present those images in this
report.
3. capacitor store energy. For converting ac to dc signal we added a capacitor. We added
capacitor parallel to the load resistor and we analysed that when capacitor value was
increased, we have found more smoothen dc signal.
4. In a full-wave rectifier in bridge configuration (Circuit-3), the minimum peak inverse Voltage
(PIV) across each diode, is the peak value of the AC input voltage. In a full-wave center-
trapped rectifier (Circuit-6), each diode needs PIV rating of at least double the peak voltage
of the transformer's secondary winding.
5. circuit in figure 6 batter than circuit in figure 3. Circuit 6 is a center-trapped full wave rectifier
and circuit 3 is full wave rectifier. For center trapped rectifier we use 2 diode and for full
wave rectifier we use 4 diodes. For using 2 diode center trapped rectifier has less voltage
drop than full wave rectifier. Because of less voltage drop it has given us more output voltage
than full wave rectifier. So, we can say that center trapped full wave rectifier is better than
full wave rectifier.
