To construct a full wave
rectifier and show that
that Alternating Current
is rectified into a Direct
Current.

Acknowledgement
The project could have never been possible without
the support of various sources. It is extremely
impossible to thank every individual who has helped
me in completing this project. Some people have
helped in the basic formularization and there were
sources that helped me in giving the ideas a physical
form/shape. I am extremely grateful to my mentor,
Mr. Pawan Kumar, for his invaluable guidance in the
project right from the beginning. His vital support
helped the project to take a logical and suitable
shape. I take this opportunity to thank the School
authorities, for extending their full support and
cooperation in the project. Last but not the least; I
would like to thank everyone who has offered a
helping hand when required.

INTERODUCTION
A full wave rectifier is a device which is
used to rectify all the a l t e r n a t i n g
current components in an
a l t e r n a t i n g s u p p l y a n d m a ke i t
p u r e l y a d i re c t c u r re n t . T h e t w o
a l t e r n a t i n g h a l v e s 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 c u r r e n t d u e
t o i t s i n t e n s e h i g h p o w e r.
The use of batteries
in all devices is not practical
as their replacement and
durability is a 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 TVs, Radios,
Chargers,
And Lightings etc
MATERLALS REQUIRED IN THE
CONSTRUCTION
Connecting wires
A plug
Single lead wire - 2m
3Nuts & Bolts 2 to 3cm length
Circuit board
A Transformer
A capacitor
A Resistor (1 K )
P-N junction diodes
A LED
Insulation tape, Blades, soldering wax,
soldering lead, soldering iron &sand paper.
Connection details:
Connections are done as in the circuit.
The A.C. supply is given to both the
input wires of the transformer and the
two ends o f the secondary coil is given
to the P side of the two diodes
and then side of the diodes are twined
and then connected to one en d of the
capacitor and the other end to the
center tap lead and to the resistor.
Further, the other end of capacitor with
the diode connect ion disconnected 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 & -veterminals of
the bulb
