Teor#: 5ne of the main disadvantages of the 'lass & amplifier circuit above is that it uses balanced centre-tapped transformers in its design- ma9ing it e>pensive to construct. Eowever- there is another t#pe of 'lass & push-pull amplifier called a /omplementar#- S#mmetr# /lass B Amplifier that does not use transformers in its design thereforeP it is transformer less using instead complementar# pairs of transistors. As transformers are not needed this ma9es the amplifier circuit much smaller for the same amount of output- also there are no stra# magnetic effects or transformer distortion to effect the "ualit# of the output signal. While 'lass & amplifiers have a much high gain than the 'lass A t#pes- one of the main disadvantages of class & t#pe push-pull amplifiers is that the# suffer from an effect 9nown commonl# as /rosso1er 0istortion. This occurs during the transition when the transistors are switching over from one to the other as each transistor does not stop or start conducting e>actl# at the 4ero crossover point even if the# are speciall# matched pairs. This is because the output transistors re"uire a base-emitter voltage greater than ..*v for the bipolar transistor to start conducting which results in both transistors being G522G at the same time. 5ne wa# to eliminate this crossover distortion effect would be to bias both the transistors at a point slightl# above their cut-off point. This then would give us what is commonl# called an /lass AB Amplifier circuit. $rocedureK 1. The connections are given as per the circuit diagram. 2.

Teor#: The Ealf wave rectifier is a circuit- which converts an ac voltage to dc voltage. =n the Ealf wave rectifier circuit shown above the transformer serves two purposes. 1. =t can be used to obtain the desired level of dc voltage /using step up or step down transformers0. 2. =t provides isolation from the power line. The primar# of the transformer is connected to ac suppl#. This induces an ac voltage across the secondar# of the transformer. %uring the positive half c#cle of the input voltage the polarit# of the voltage across the secondar# forward biases the diode. As a result a current = L flows through the load resistor- + L . The forward biased diode offers a ver# low resistance and hence the voltage drop across it is ver# small. Thus the voltage appearing across the load is practicall# the same as the input voltage at ever# instant. %uring the negative half c#cle of the input voltage the polarit# of the secondar# voltage gets reversed. As a result- the diode is reverse biased. !racticall# no current flows through the circuit and almost no voltage is developed across the resistor. All input voltage appears across the diode itself. Eence we conclude that when the input voltage is going through its positive half c#cle- output voltage is almost the same as the input voltage and during the negative half c#cle no voltage is available across the load. This <>plains the unidirectional pulsating dc waveform obtained as output. The process of removing one half the input signals to establish a dc level is aptl# called half wave rectification. $rocedure: 1. The circuit connections are made as per the given diagram. 2.
