A FULL WAVE RECTIFIER

Aim
:To construct a full wave rectifier and show that the AlternatingComponents are
rectified into a direct current.
Introduction
:A full wave rectifier is a device which is used to rectify all the alternatingc
urrent components in an alternating supply and make it purely a directcurrent. T
he two alternating halves of an alternation current are rectified in afull wave
rectifier which is an advantage over a half wave rectifier. Mostelectronic devic
es cannot withstand very high voltage or alternating currentdue to its intense h
igh power. The use of batteries in all devices is not practical as their replace
ment and durability is a huge problem as the devicehas to be dismantled each tim
e for such a replacement. So these rectifiers areused in most of the electronic
devices like TV s, Radios, Chargers, Lightingsetc. There are several stages in a r
ectifier. Based on their rectification theyare classified into two. The single s
taged & multi staged.In the multi staged rectifiers, more than two diodes are us
ed and these areused in the above-mentioned devices. The singled staged rectifie
r has only 2diodes, the one we are to discuss in this project. The multi diode r
ectifier hasonly 2 diodes, the one we are to discuss in this project. The multi
dioderectifiers has an efficiency ~ 94.6% while that of the single is only 81.2%
