AIM

To construct a full wave rectifier and


show that 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 in the
construction

 Connecting wires

 A Plug

 Single lead wire - 2m

 3 Nuts & Bolts 2 to 3cm length

 A Circuit board

 A Transformer

 A Capacitor

 A Resistor (1 K Ω)

 P-N junction diodes

 An LED

 Insulation tape, Blades, soldering wax,


soldering lead, soldering iron & sand
paper.
Circuit Diagram

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 en d
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 & -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 S1D1
ABEOS1. During this time diode D2 is
reverse biased. So it does not conduct any
electric current. During the next half cycle
the diodeD2 is forward and D1 is reversed.
Hence D2 conducts current in the direction
S2D2ABEOS2 and 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.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my sincere


gratitude to my physics mentor Mr Anish
Pillai, for his vital support, guidance and
encouragement throughout the year.

I am grateful to my parents whose blessings


and wishes have gone a long way in the
completion of this arduous task.

I thank my friends and batch mates, without


their prompt support my efforts would have
been in vain.

THANK YOU ALL!!
