Conclusion

The document summarizes experiments conducted on rectifier circuits. In experiment 1, a half-wave rectifier circuit was built and observed to only output the top half of the sine wave, with a peak voltage of 14 volts. Experiment 2 used a bridge rectifier and observed a full-wave rectified output on an oscilloscope with a peak voltage of 14 volts. Experiment 3 found that increasing the filter capacitor value decreased the ripple in the bridge rectifier output. In conclusion, the group learned that a bridge rectifier uses four diodes without a center tap to achieve full-wave rectification like a circuit with two diodes and center-tapped transformer.

Conclusion

In part 1 experiment 1 , we have conducted an experiment. It is half-wave rectifier circuit. We


can observe that there is a peak-to-peak waveform and we have been noticed that is is only the
top half of the sine wave. The value of the zero-to-peak voltage fir this circuit is closest to 20
volts peak. While the half-wave peak voltage is 14 volts peak.
In part II we just observe the waveform on the oscilloscope. We noticed that the bridge rectifier
output voltage looks just like the full wave rectified output voltage that we saw in the previous
lesson and the Bridge Peak Voltage is 14 volts.
Next in part III , we can conclude that the higher the value of filter capacitor in the Bridge
Rectifier, the ripple will be less. Thats mean the ripple looks perfect if we use the higher value
of capacitor.
In conclusion , our group of team members had learnt that the bridge rectifier uses four diodes
and a transformer without a centre-tap to accomplish what two diodes and a centre-tapped
transformer can do, namely full-wave rectification of an AC input waveform. A bridge circuit
diode package is also available commercially in a single part with two AC inputs and a + and
terminal for our DC output.
