Diodes As Rectifiers
Effect of diodes as rectifiers in AC-powered circuits.
Part of the course: Electronics & Sensing — Diodes, Light & Infrared
Mission
Studying the effect of diodes as rectifiers in a circuit with an AC power supply
Variables
What you change
- Resistance value
What you measure
- Voltage Drop
What you keep constant
- Wire length
- Wire cross section
- Temperature of wire
- Transformer Nature
- Rectification Type
Equations
V_1 = Voltage drop on first resistor (V)
V_2 = Voltage drop on second resistor (V)
R_1 = First resistor (ohm)
R_2 = Second resistor (ohm)
V_1=(\frac{transformer output voltage}{R_1+R_2})*R_1
V_2=(\frac{transformer output voltage}{R_1+R_2})*R_2
