Title of Experiment: Performance of Full wave bridge rectifier with and without capacitor filter
Objective of the Experiment:
To test a Full wave bridge rectifier with and without a capacit
capacitor filter. To determine the efficiency, ripple factor
and form factor and compare the experimental observations with the theoretical values.

Precautions :
Do not short the secondary of the transformer.
Check for the proper polarity of the capacitor before making the circuit connections.
Conclusion/Critical Observation:
By conducting experiment verify the ripple factor, efficiency and voltage regulation of the rectifier circuit and
comment on the observed values.
