Interpretation of Result:

The wave form that was formed on the first part of this experiments defies
whether it is a positive of negative rectifier. And based on the results that we got on
the first part, the circuit is a negative rectifier because when the wave approaches 0
V, it will have an output of V=0. The Vpeak-peak of the input and output waveforms
differs slightly, this is because barrier potential used in the circuit accounts for the
difference in value. The next part was to get the output voltage on DMM and on
computation, comparing both of them the average output voltage resulted to an
8.70% tolerance. Therefore the output average voltage is acceptable. When the
direction of the diode is reversed the waveform will eventually be inverted.
On the second part, the percent error is 3.86%, therefore, the average output
measured is acceptable. In a half-wave rectifier, the output waveform would create
a positive alternation when the input waveform is positive, and would stay zero if
the input is negative. In a full-wave rectifier, the output waveform would create only
positive alternations even when the input waveform is negative.
The cause of the ripple voltage at the out of a capacitor filter is because, as the
voltage drops, the capacitor slowly begins to discharge into the load and loses
voltage, thus the ripple voltage. When we remove R2 and connect R3 the waveform
is still the same but the Vpeak-peak changes because of the difference of resistance
of R2 and R3, where R3 is greater. As we increase the frequency the waveform
compresses.
Conclusion:
Half-wave rectifier utilizes only one half cycle while the full-wave rectifier
uses both. Most power supplies uses full-wave rectifier. On the half-wave rectifier
the output frequency is just equal to the input frequency, while on the full-wave
rectifier, the output is twice that of the input. The filter is used to remove the
remaining alternating portion of the waveform.
Interpretation of Results:
The peak to peak voltages of R1 and R2 are just the same on this experiment.
When we compare the voltage reading across the load and the voltage reading on the
DMM, they are just the same. The voltage doubler produces DC voltage twice that
of a full wave rectifier.

Conclusion
Voltage multiplier are used to produce a high voltage dc were moderate level
of current is required. A voltage double is a voltage multiplier with a multiplication
force of 2. The voltage multiplier is done through reaction of the diodes when
different half cycles passes, making the diode(s) interchange from short to open and
having the capacitor discharge and passing it on to the shorted diode.
