The two alternating halves of an alternation current are rectified in a full wave rectifier which is an advantage over a half wave rectifier. Most 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 replacementand durability isa huge problem as the device has to be dismantled each time for such a replacement. So, these rectifiers are used in most of the electronic devices like TV’s, Radios, Chargers, and Lightings etc. Downloaded from: https: //www.knowledgecycle.inDownloaded from: https://www.knowledgecycle.in MATERIAL REQUIRED Bb .

The A.C. supply is given Lu 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 twined and then connected to one end of the capacitor and the other end to the centre 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.

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 torward biased anda current ‘I’ tlows in the circuit in the direction S 1D1 ABEOS1. During this timc 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 in only 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 fillers all A.C components fromthe supply and resistance is adjusted for the required output. As this is a simple circuit, only one capacitorand 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.
