Title:
Half wave rectifier
Objectives:
-getting familiar with the concept and operation of the diode and rectification.
-using the Ac power supply and the transformer
-learning how to use the oscilloscope.
-to learn how to use the Multimeter in its different modes (AD & DC) and the
difference between each mode.
Results:
Part1:we measured the voltage across the source using the AC voltmeter to find the RMS value,
while the output was taken as the voltage across the load(resistor) as shown in the figure and
measured using the DC voltmeter and found to be 6.24 which means that we have achieved the
desired task which is –rectification-(conversion from AC to DC) but still we couldn’t have pure
DC (i.e. no ripple)
We measured the DC of the input voltage using the DC voltmeter and found it to ZERO which is
predicted since it is pure AC.
Part 2: the output was taken across the capacitor and was found to be pure DC since the capacitor
cannot discharge when the diode is off and is charging when it is on
Part 3: here the capacitor is discharging through the resistor creating the current through it, the
voltage across the resistor is measured and the current is calculated using ohms law
Part 4:was not conducted
Part 5:her instead of changing the value of the resistor we change the capacitor and again the
voltage across the resistor is measured and the current passing through is calculated
Conclusions:
From part 1 we conclude that rectification connects AC into DC but still there is a large unwanted
ripple
In part 2 this ripple is totally removed by replacing the resistor by a capacitor but no current flaws
in the negative half cycle
In part 3 in the negative half cycle the capacitor discharges through a parallel connected resistor
which is replaced for different value and from voltages for each value we notice that the smaller
the resistor the smaller the output voltage
In part 5 we change the capacitance value and it is obvious that as the capacitance is
increased the voltage increases which is expected
