To construct a full wave rectifier


and show that that Alternating
Current is rectified into a Direct
Current.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The project could have never been possible without the support of various
sources. It is extremely impossible to thank every individual who has
helped me in completing this project. Some people have helped in the basic
formularization and there were sources that helped me in giving the ideas
a physical form/shape. I am extremely grateful to my mentor,

….……………………….. , for his invaluable guidance in the project right

from the beginning. His vital support helped the project to take a logical
and suitable shape. I take this opportunity to thank the School authorities,
forextending their full support and cooperation in the project.

Last but not the least; I would like to thank everyone who has
offered a helping hand when required.

academic year …………. towards partial fulfillment of credit
for the Physics Project evaluation and submitted working
model and satisfactory report , as compiled in the following
pages, under my supervision.

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.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

Connection details:
Connections are done as in the circuit. The A.C. supply is given to both t h e
i nput w i r e s o f t he t r a nsf orm er and t he two e nds o f t he secondary
coil is given to the P side of the two diodes and the
N sideof t h e d i o d e s a r e t w i n e d a n d t h e n c o n n e c t e d to o n e en
d of t he capacitor and the other end to the center tap lead and to the
resistor.F u r t h e r , the o t h e r end of c a pa ci tor w i t h the d i ode c onnect
i on 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.
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 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
S 1 D 1 ABEOS 1 . 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
S2D2ABEOS 2and 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 vo l tage. 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.
