This physics project document describes the construction and working of a full wave rectifier circuit. It aims to demonstrate how alternating current (ac) can be rectified into direct current (dc) using a full wave rectifier. The aim, acknowledgements, a certificate, an introduction explaining the purpose and advantages of full wave rectification, a list of required materials, a circuit diagram, a detailed step-by-step explanation of the working principle, and a bibliography. The project was completed by a class xii student, somrat dutta, during the 2016-2017 academic year at delhi public school, siliguri. This comprehensive project report provides valuable insights into the practical application of full wave rectification in electronic devices and can serve as a reference for students studying physics, electronics, or electrical engineering.

INDEX
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. Shekhar Jha 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 ofered a helping hand when required
CERTIFICATE
This is to certify that Somrat Dutta (Roll_No:โฆ..โฆโฆ) student of Class XII, Delhi Public School, Siliguri has completed the project titled. โ Full Wave Rectiier โ during the academic year 2016-17 towards partial fulillment of credit for the Physics Project evaluation of AISSCE 2017 , and submitted working model and satisfactory report, as compiled in the following pages, under my supervision.
a replacement. So these rectiiers are used in most of the electronic devices like TVโs, Radios, Chargers,
and Lightings etc.

circuit diagram
1st when the A.C. is supplied to the transformer, it steps down the 230V main supply to 6 volts. 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 forward biased and a current โIโ lows in the circuit in the direction S 1D ABEOS1. During this time 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 lows 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 iltered and made smooth using a capacitor, which ilters 99% of the A.C current. A resistor is then used to adjust the output voltage. Capacitor also nearly ilters all A.C components from the supply and resistance is adjusted for the required output. As this is a simple circuit, only one capacitor and 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.
