FULL WAVE RECTIFIER:

INTRODUCTION:
Rectifier is a device which converts AC to DC.
Now, it depends upon the percentage of
rectification. There are 3 types of rectifiers:
1.
2.
3.

Half-wave rectifier
Full-wave rectifier
Bridge rectifier

A rectifier that rectifies only one half of each


a.c. input supply cycle is called a half-wave
rectifier.
A rectifier that rectifies both halves of each
a.c. input cycle is called a full-wave rectifier. It
can convert a.c to d.c. approximately up to
85%. To make it 95% perfect Ive used a
electrolytic capacitor(470mfd) as it filters the
current signal.

Principle:
It also works on the principle that a junction
diode offers low resistance during forward
bias and high resistance, when reversed
biased. Here, two junction diodes are
connected in such a manner that if one half
cycle of a.c. input is forward biased, the other
gets reversed biased but when the next
opposite half cycle comes, the first diode gets
reverse biased and the second forward
biased. Thus, output is obtained during both
the half cycle of the a.c. input.

Working:
Full wave rectifier is constructed by using a
step-down transformer. When we input 220V
a.c. cycle into the primary coil, due to the
electromagnetic induction and also due to the
reduced EDDY current, 220V is converted into
6V low a.c. cycle. Ive connected diodes D1
and D2 which is the most important part of
this circuit. During positive half cycle diode D1
is active as it is in forward biased condition
while D2 is inactive due to reverse biased
condition whereas the vice-versa condition
approaches during negative half- cycle. Since,
in both the cycles we receive a well filtered
output and that to the current moves in same
direction through load resistance R, therefore
we get a d.c. graph.

We receive the voltage in the terminals across


the load resistance R.
