Full Wave Rectifier

INSTRUCTION

  1. Connect the components as mentioned below:
    L1-L7, L4-L7, L12-L5, L12-L11, L8-L9, L6-L10, L3-L11, L10-L8.(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 click on 'Delete all connection' button to erase all the connections.
  4. Set the resistor \(R_L\).
  5. 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= 0.483.

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

    \(V_{dc}= \frac{2 \times V_m} {π}\)

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