    Uploaded by

    Sachin Murugan
    This document summarizes a physics project on constructing a full wave rectifier. The student aims to show that alternating current can be rectified into direct current. The project describes the materials used, including a transformer, capacitor, resistor, diodes, and LED. It includes a circuit diagram and explanations of how the full wave rectifier works during each half cycle to allow current to flow in only one direction. Observations are made that 6V of direct current is produced. Uses of rectifiers are discussed, such as supplying polarized voltage for devices that cannot withstand high voltage or alternating current.

    Acknowledgement

    The project could have neverbeen


    possible without the support of various
    sources. It is extremely impossible to
    thank every individual who has helped
    me in completing this project. Some
    people have helped in the basic
    formularization and there were sources
    that helped me in giving the ideas a
    physical form/shape. I am extremely
    grateful to my mentor,
    Mrs. K ANCHANA for her invaluable
    guidance in the project right from the
    beginning. Her vital support helped the
    project to take a logical and suitable
    shape. I take this opportunity to thank
    the School authorities, for extending
    their full support and cooperation in the
    project. Last but not the least; I would
    like to thank everyone who has offered a
    helping hand when required.
    CERTIFICATE

    This is to certify that Sachin.A


    (Roll_No: ) student of Class XII,
    Dr.G.S.K.Mem School, (C.B.S.E) has
    completed the project titled. “Full
    Wave Rectifier” during the academic
    year 2019-20 towards partial fulfillment
    of credit for the Physics Project
    evaluation of AISSCE 2020, and
    submitted working model and
    satisfactory report, as compiled in the
    following pages, under my supervision.

    Introduction

    A full wave rectifier is a device which is


    used to rectify all the alternating current
    components in an alternating
    supply and make it purely a direct
    current. The two alternating halves ofan
    alternation current are rectified in a full
    wave rectifier which is an advantage
    over a half wave rectifier. M ost
    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 such a
    replacem ent. So these rectifiers
    are used in most of the electronic
    devices like TV’s, Radios,Chargers,
    and Lightings etc.

    circuit diagram
    Connection details:
    Connections are done as in the circuit.
    The A.C. supply is given to both the
    input wires of the transformer and the
    two ends of the secondary coil is given
    to the P side of the two diodes and the
    N side of the diodes are tw ined and
    then connected to one end of the
    capacitor and the other end to the
    center tap lead and to the resistor.
    Further, the other end of capacitor with
    the diode connect ion is connected to
    the other end of the resistor. Connect 2
    leads on both the ends of the resistor to
    measure the output and this is
    connected to the +ve & -ve terminals of
    the bulb.
    Working

    1st w hen the A.C. is supplied to the


    transform er, it steps dow n the 220V
    m ain supply to 6 volts. It has a
    capability of delivering a current of
    500mA. The 6 volts A.C. appearing
    across the secondary is the RMS value
    and the peak value is 8.4 volts. During
    the 1st half cycle of the A.C. input Diode
    D1 is forward biased and a current ‘I’
    flows in the circuit in the direction S 1D1
    ABEOS1. During this time diode D2 is
    reverse biased. So it does not conduct
    any electric current. During the next half
    cycle, the diodeD2 is forward and D1 is
    reversed. Hence D2 conducts current in
    the direction S2D2 ABEOS2and D1 does
    not conduct any current. In subsequent
    half cycles of the A.C current the above
    processes are repeated.
    In both the half cycles it is clear that
    current flows through the resistor inonly
    one direction ABE. Even though the
    voltage across RL is unidirectional it will
    still contain a few A.C components. This
    is filtered and made smooth using a
    capacitor, which filters 99% of the A.C
    current. A resistor is then used to adjust
    the output voltage. Capacitor also
    nearly filters all A.C components from
    the supply and resistance is adjusted for
    the required output. As this is a simple
    circuit, only one capacitor and a
    resistance are being used. But there will
    be slight factor of A.C. current still left in
    the output but it is negligible. The
    output Direct Current and voltage light
    up the LED.
    Observation
    And
    Conculsion

    On connecting a voltmeter to the output of


    bridge circuit 6V is coming.
    Uses

    Most electronic device cannot withstand very


    high voltage or AC due to its intense high
    power the use of batteries in all devices is
    not practical as their replacement and
    durability is ahuge problem as the device has
    to be dismantled each time for such
    replacement. So these rectifiers are to suply
    polarised voltage for welding ,detection of
    amplitude modulated radio signals.
