Objective:
To construct a full wave rectifier and show the rectification
of Alternating Components of Alternating Current (AC) into
a Direct Current (DC).
Introduction:
A full wave rectifier is a device which is used to rectify all
the alternating current components in an alternating
supply (AC) and make it purely a direct current (DC). The
two alternating halves of an alternation current are
rectified in a full wave rectifier which is an advantage over
a half wave rectifier. Most electronic devices cannot
withstand very high voltage or alternating current due to
its intense high power. The use of batteries in all devices is
not practical as their replacement and durability is a huge
problem as the device has to be dismantled each time for
1
such a replacement. So these rectifiers are used in most of
the electronic devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers, and
Lightings etc. There are several stages in a rectifier. Based
on their rectification they are classified into two. The
single staged & multi staged.

Theory Involved:
The input transformer steps down the A.C mains from 230V
and emerges out as +ve and –ve. The bulb connected verifies the

Details of the Materials Used:
Connecting wires and a plug A normal insulated
copper wire able to withstand 230 – 250 v is required.
Size 2 – 3 cm.
to make the connection tight so for this a thin lead wire is required
to affix the connections and wax to make the lead to hold on when
soldered.
A CAPACITOR
The ability of a metal to store electric charges measures the
capacitances of a conductor. It provides high impedance to
Alternating Current and stores them while all the D.C components
are let to pass. There are different types of capacitors –
supply.
It does not dissipate any power & the energy stored in it equal to ½
CV2 . In a capacitor Voltage does not change instantaneously. It leads
current & voltage by an angle different of 90 0 .
The capacitor can be connected in 2 ways

A Resistor
A resistor is an electronic components whose resistance value tells us
about the opposition it offers to the flow of electric current. Resistance
is measured in ohms ( ).
We determine the value of a resistor using the colour coding on the
rings of the resistor –
1. Black - 0 6. Green - 5
2. Brown –1 7. Blue - 6
3. Red -2 8. Violet - 7
4. Orange – 3 9. Grey - 8
5. Yellow – 4 10. White - 9
Tolerance
Gold - 5%
Silver - 10%
Colourless - 20%

Measurement
For Eg: For a resistor of colour code – brown, black, green & gold.
The resistance value is 10 105 5%
Here we use a single resistor of Brown, Red, Red & Gold colour rings.
Its Value = 12 102 5%
Resistance can be connected in 2 ways –
In series,
R = (R1 + R2 + R3 …..)
