Theory:
A semiconductor diode is a non-linear device, which behaves as a small resistance in its
forward direction and acts as a large resistance in its reverse direction. This is displayed
by the V-I characteristic (Volts-Amps characteristic which is a graph of current vs. voltage
for a diode); and by linearizing the V-I characteristic, a diode circuit model obtained is
known as a piecewise linear model. Diodes are used in a number of rectifier and wave-
shaping circuits.

designed. In electronic designs, rectifier circuits are very important since most equipment
work on dc voltage, thus it is necessary to convert ac voltage to dc voltage.
2.3. Rectifier:
A rectifier is a circuit that converts an AC current to a DC current. At the very simplest
level, a rectifier circuit is a circuit that takes an AC voltage and modifies it so that the
output voltage has only one sign. It will eliminate either all positive voltage or all negative
voltage. A true DC current requires a constant DC voltage. The rectifiers we can build with
only regular diodes give a first approximation to this.

Part-b
Purpose:
To understand the working of center-tapped Rectifier
Apparatus:
Two Silicon diode
Transformer
Oscilloscope
Multimeter
Resistance
Capacitor (10µF)
Breadboard
Connecting wires
Theory:
A center taped rectifier is a type of full wave rectifier that two diodes are connected to the
secondary of center taped transformer.
The AC input voltage is applied through the Center Taped Transformer which coupled to
the transformer at the secondary side. At the secondary side, half of the total secondary
voltage appears between the center tap and each end of the secondary side as shown in
above image.
During positive half cycle of the input voltage, the diode D1 will be forward biased and
conducts current through D1 and RL while the diode D2 will be reversed biased. After it
during the negative half cycle of the input voltage, the diode D2 will be forward biased
and conducts current through D2 and RL while the diode D1 will reversed biased. Because
during both the positive and negative half cycle of the input voltage the output current is
in the same direction through the load RL, therefore the output voltage across the load
resistor RL will be developed as a full wave DC Rectified Output as shown in above
diagram.
Procedure:
Check the voltage coming from direct AC source.
Then connect the transformer to A.C source.
Then connect two diodes to center tapped transformer and connect load in series to
it.
And connect the Oscilloscope to Load Resistor RL in parallel.
Calculate the peak voltage from oscilloscope.
Tabulate the value.

Outputs Wave Forms On Oscilloscope

Diode 1N4001
Resistor
Capacitor
CRO
Digital Multi Meter
Function generator
Theory:
More useful and effective way of converting AC to DC is using both positive and negative
range of AC input signal. There are 2 kinds of circuit to use to do this.
Figure-2-4
Note that double the increase of frequency appears in output substantially. It is because
cycle of output wave type T is the half of AC input signal. Remember that frequency is the
reciprocal of cycle. ( f =1/ T ).
Center tap circuit has been the most general full-wave rectifying circuit but, bridge circuit
becomes most general owing to the appearance of silicon diode having low price, high
reliability and small size.

The reason is in the fact that it enables to cut down the size of transformer needed in
getting the degree of output.
If the input frequency is 50 hertz, the positive alternation will be present 50 times. After
the full-wave rectification, there will be 100 positive pulses at the output. If the DC output
signal is measured with a multi-meter, the indication will be the Average value of the
peak signal. To determine the average value of a full-wave rectified signal, multiply the
peak value by 0.636.
Procedure:
Construct the circuit according to the circuit diagram given below
