Half Wave Rectifier

INSTRUCTION

  1. Set the resistor \(R_L\).
  2. Click on 'ON' button to start the experiment.
  3. Double click on 'Sine Wave' button to generate input waveform
  4. Click on 'Oscilloscope' button to get the rectified output.
  5. Vary the Amplitude, Frequency, volt/div using the controllers.
  6. Click on "Dual" button to observe both the waveform.
  7. Channel 1 shows the input sine waveform, Channel 2 shows the output rectified waveform.
  8. Calculate the Ripple Factor.Theoretical Ripple Factor= 1.21.
  9. Note: Read the Virtual oscilloscope tutorial provided at the bottom.

CALCULATION

Calculator

    \(V_{rms}= \frac{V_m}{2}\), \(V_m\) is the peak voltage

    \(V_{dc}= \frac{V_m} {π}\)
    Ripple Factor=\(\frac{V_{ac}}{V_{dc}}\) \(\quad\)Since, \(V_{ac}=\sqrt{(V^2_{rms}-V^2_{dc})}\)
