Experiment no.4

§ Full Wave bridge Rectifier §

4.1 Objective:
- To convert AC to DC.
- To be familiar with the full wave rectifier.

4.2 Theory:
A full wave bridge rectifier is a type of rectifier, which will use four
diodes or more than that in a bridge formation. A full wave bridge
rectifier system consists of:

1. Four Diodes
2. Resistive Load

We use the diodes namely A, B, C and D, which form a bridge


circuit. The circuit diagram is as follows

Principle of Full Wave Bridge Rectifier

We apply an AC across the bridge. During the positive half-cycle,


the terminal 1 becomes positive, and terminal 2 becomes negative.
This will cause the diodes A and C to become forward-biased, and
the current will flow through it. Meanwhile diodes B and D will
become reverse-biased and block current through them. The current
will flow from 1 to 4 to 3 to 2.

During the negative half-cycle, the terminal 1 will become negative,


and terminal 2 will become positive. This will cause the diodes B and
D to become forward-biased and will allow current through them. At
the same time, diodes A and C will be reverse-biased and will block
the current through them. The current will flow from 2 to 4 to 3 to 1.

4.3 Procedure:
1. Connect the circle shown in the bellow figure (5).

Figure -5
2. Set the function generator by an AC voltage (5 V) and a
frequency (250HZ).
3. Connect the Oscilloscope to both ends of the resistance, Draw
the wave shown in the screen of the Oscilloscope.

4.4 Discussion:
1. What are the components of the bridge rectifier ?

2. Calculate the value of Vr.m.s and Vd.c for the output

wave?

Vr.m.s = Vpeak / 2
Vd.c = Vpeak / π
