PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit for Half wave rectifier. 2. Vary the load current in steps from 0 to 100mA and note down VDC and VAC across the load. 3. Also observe the input and output waveforms on CRO. 4. Repeat the steps 1 to 3 for full wave rectifier. 5. Plot regulation characteristics by taking IL on X-axis VDC on Y-axis. 6. Calculate percentage regulation using % Regulation =

V NL VFL 100 VFL

where VNL: output DC voltage when load current is zero VFL: output DC voltage when load current is maximum
