Half wave Rectifier and full wave Rectifier

-


Aim:-

To construct a half-wave rectifier circuit and full wave rectifier and determine the ripple factor.

Apparatus:-

Transformer (0-6), AC voltmeter, DC voltmeter (0-10 V), Capacitor (100µF), diode.


Circuit Diagram:-



Theory:-

A rectifier is a device that converts Alternating current (AC) to Direct current. This flows in only one direction. The process is known as “Rectification” since it “Straightens” the direction of the current. There are two types of rectifier’s half-wave and Full-wave.

Half-wave Rectifier:-

In half-wave rectifier, when the AC supply is applied at the input, the positive half cycle appears across the load, whereas the negative half cycle is suppressed. This can be done by using the semiconductor P-N junction diode. The diode allows the current to flow during the positive half cycle only, thus the positive half appears as fluctuating DC voltage.

Full-wave Rectifier:-

In the full-wave rectifier circuit, we use two diodes, one for each half of the wave. A multiple winding transformer is used whose secondary winding is split equally into two half with a common centre-tapped connection configuration result in each diode conduction in turn when its anode terminal is positive with respect to the transformer center point C produces an output during both half cycle. The same can be realized using bridge rectifier which does not need a centre tapped transformer 

Ripple factor:-

It is the ratio of the rms value of AC to the rms value of the DC component of the output voltage.


Procedure:- 

1)   Connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram.

     2)   DC and Ac voltmeter reading is noted for different load resistance.

     3)   And calculate the ripple factor.

     4)   These steps are repeated or several times.

Aim:-  To determine the value of Stefan's constant. Apparatus:-  Black body radiation unit, Ammeter, Voltmeter, connecting wires, DC source. Theory:-  Stefan's constant: A physical constant denoted by  σ , is the constant of proportionality in the Stefan's-Boltzmann law- the total intensity radiated over all wavelength increases as the temperature increases Procedure:- 1) The electrical connections are made as shown in the circuit diagram. 2) Copper black body radiator is preheated to  30 0 C   by setting maximum voltage in the power supply 3)after the temperature indicator indicates a temperature of about    30 0 C , the voltage is reduced to some value  4) increase the voltage in steps of 0.2 V and note down the current, hence calculate power l. 5) Determine the value of Stefan's constan t. Observations:-  Room temperature t o =t+273=......of 2) surface area of the black body  A=4π r 2  = .........m square Calculati...

Image
Aim:-  To draw the frequency response of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis networks. Introduction:- Educational trainer a useful kit for the demonstration of Pre-emphasis & De-emphasis at different time constants & plot the graph of the frequency response of Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis networks. The kit consists of 200 Hz-20 kHz audio oscillator 70µ sec & 50µ sec De-emphasis networks.  Pre-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- DE-Emphasis Circuit Diagram:- Theory:- Pre-emphasis refers to boosting the relative amplitudes of the modulating voltage for higher audio frequencies from 2 to approximately 15 kHz . De-emphasis means attenuating those frequencies by the amount by which they are boosted.  However, Pre-emphasis is done at the transmitter and De-emphasis is done in the receiver. The purpose is to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for FM reception. A time constant of 75µ sec is specified in the RC or L/Z network for Pre-emphasis and De-emphasis. Tabular colu...
