To study and understand the principles and the working of the Half-
Wave Rectifier and Full-Wave Rectifier and Zener Diode voltage
regulator.
Tools Used
Background Knowledge-
PN Junction Diode:
Rectifier:
Full Wave Rectifier consists of two Diodes and one step down
transformer which is centre tapped. The p terminal of the Diodes is
connected to the secondary winding of the transformer and the n-
terminal of both the Diodes are connected to the centre tapping
point of the secondary winding and they are also connected to load
terminal.
