Himanshu Tiwari, a class 12 student at Delhi Public School Siddharth Vihar, completed a physics project on a full wave rectifier under the guidance of his teacher Mr. Nitin Kandpal. The project involved constructing a full wave rectifier circuit using components like a transformer, diodes, capacitor, and resistor. The aim was to show that an alternating current can be rectified into a direct current. The working involves the forward and reverse biasing of the diodes on alternating half cycles to allow current to flow in one direction only. A graph was included to show the unidirectional pulsating output. References used included NCERT textbooks, class notes, and websites.

2 ACKNOWLEDGE
I would like to convey my heartiest gratitude to Mr.
Nitin Kandpal for his tremendous support and assistance in the completion of my project.
I would also like to thank our Principal Ms. Krishna
Singh for all the facilities provided by her for the preparation of this project titled full wave rectifier.
In the end I would like to thank my tuition teacher
and every one who helped and motivated me for completing the project on time.
Full wave rectifier is a device which is used to rectify
all the alternating current (AC) components in an alternating supply and make it pure direct current (DC). The two alternating halves of alternating current are rectified in full wave rectifier. Consist of a step-down transformer, 2 PN-Junction diodes, load resistor where output voltage is observed. It is commonly used in Charger circuits, mobile phones, etc.
5 AIM
To construct a full wave rectifier and show that
the alternating current (AC) is rectified into a Direct Current (DC).
6 APPRATUS
Connecting wire Plug Single lead wires- 1m Circuit Board Transformer (220v – 6v) Capacitor Resistor- 1Ω P-N Junction diodes LED bulb Tape Soldering tool Cutter Sand paper
7 CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
Connections are done as in the circuit. The AC supply is given to
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 D1 & D2 and the N side of diodes are twined and then connected to one end of capacitor and the other end to centre tap lead and to the resistor. Further other end of diode and capacitor is connected to another end of resistor. Connect 2 leads on both ends of resistor to measure the output and this is connected to +ve and -ve terminal of the LED bulb.
8 WORKING
During the +ve half of the input AC the upper
P-N junction diode is forward biased and the lower junction diode is reverse biased. The forward current flow on account of majority carrier of upper P-N junction diode.
During the -ve half cycle of AC the upper P-N
junction diode is reverse biased and lower junction diode is forward biased.
The Forward current flow on account of majority
carrier of lower P-N junction diode.
We observe the current flow through resistor in the
same direction as in +ve half. Hence the wave due to repeating the whole process is unidirectional, pulsative and full wave.
