A diode can be used as a rectifier. A rectifier circuit converts ac to dc signal.
There are three main types of rectifier circuits:
i.
ii.
iii.

1 Draw the symbol f diode and its polarity
Discussion
1. From the experiment we can determine that the input and the output of
the voltage in the full wave rectifiers for resistive load is bit different because
in the output, the wave will always be in positive.
This happen because of the formula that state the average DC output
voltage across the voltage load resistor is double that of the single half-wave
rectifier circuit of the peak voltage, assuming no losses.
V = 2vmax/
Vmax is the maximum peak AC voltage in one half of the secondary winding
and one of the diodes, and Vrms is the corresponding rms value.
2. In any case of rectification single-phase polyphasethe amount of AC
voltage mixed with the rectifier .DC output is called ripple voltage. In most
cases, , since pure DC is the desired goal, ripple voltage is undesirable. If
the power levels are not too great, filtering network may be employed to
reduce the amount voltage. Sometimes, the method of rectification is
referred to by counting the number of DC pulse output for every 360 of
electrical rotation.
The diagram in Figure below shows the full-wave rectification and the wave
form using DC voltage.
3. This diagram show us how the different of the waveform of the resistive
load with the sing DC voltage waveform
- Unfiltered output from the half wave rectifier
- When the next pulse does arrive, it charges the capacitor back to full
charges shown on the right. The thick the charge- discharge waveform the
capacitor.
- The load sees a resonantly constant DC voltage now, with a ripple voltage
on top of it.
Conclusion
From the experiment we can conclude that the wave from the input and the
output voltage of the half wave and full wave rectifiers for resistive load is
different if use the DC voltage. We also can learn from this experiment how
to compare the output waveforms of half wave and full wave rectifiers for
resistive load. This diagram shows you how the waveforms hat we get from
this experiment.
