Full-Wave Rectifier Design

Overview

This experiment demonstrates how a full-wave rectifier circuit works, converting an AC signal to a DC output using diodes.

Components Required

• 4 Diodes (1N4007)
• Transformer
• Resistor (1kΩ)
• Oscilloscope
• Breadboard and wires

Procedure

1. Connect the diodes in a bridge configuration to form a full-wave rectifier.

2. Input an AC signal and observe the rectified DC output on the oscilloscope.

Expected Result

The oscilloscope will show a smooth DC voltage waveform, with a ripple depending on the load.
