Half Wave Rectifier

INSTRUCTION

  1. Connect the components as mentioned below:
    L1-L7, L3-L7, L4-L5, L5-L8, L12-L6, L8-L9.(For eg. click on 1 and then drag to 3 and so on.)
  2. Click on 'Check Connection' button to check the connections.
  3. If connected wrong, double click on the wrong connection. Else click on 'Delete all connection' button to erase all the connections.
  4. Set the resistor \(R_L\).
  5. Double click on 'ON' button to start the experiment.
  6. Click on 'Sine Wave' button to generate input waveform
  7. Click on 'Oscilloscope' button to get the rectified output.
  8. Vary the Amplitude, Frequency, volt/div using the controllers.
  9. Click on "Dual" button to observe both the waveform.
  10. Channel 1 shows the input sine waveform, Channel 2 shows the output rectified waveform.
  11. Calculate the Ripple Factor.Theoretical Ripple Factor= 1.21.
  12. 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, \(V_{ac}=\sqrt{(V^2_{rms}-V^2_{dc})}\)
