Tabulate all data gathered and compare the results with and without the filter capacitor.ġ. Measure and plot the peak-to-peak ripple voltage, V8RIPPLE, of the output. Connect a 100 μF capacitor (C1) in parallel with the load resistor (RL). There will be an AC ripple voltage component at the power supply frequency for a half-wave rectifier, twice that for full-wave, where the voltage is not completely smoothed. In order to produce steady DC from a rectified AC output, you need to add a filter. The output isn't very useful as a DC source because of the variations in the output waveform. Be sure to set the tolerance of the resistor to 10% (refer to the tutorial in Tools and Templates).Ģ.Ĝonnect the Tektronix oscilloscope so that channel 1 is across the secondary output side of the transformer and channel 2 is across the load resistor (RL). With a 10:1 ratio, the VSEC should be 3 VRMS. Use a function generator to provide the AC input of 30VRMS at 60 Hz (Make sure to convert the RMS to Peak voltage) and use a center tapped transformer to obtain VSEC. Part A: Half wave rectification: Software (Multisim):ġ.Ĝonstruct the circuit of a half-wave rectifier in Figure 1 in Multisim. Please refer to the procedure to view date and time stamp at the end of the lab. Omission of the date and time stamp causes the lab to be worth only 1%.

Note: Multisim must be configured so a date and time stamp is visible in all simulations.
