3.3 THEORY
During positive half-cyde of the input voltage, the diode D1 is in forward bias and conducts
through the load resistor R1. Hence the current produces an output voltage across the load resistor
R1, which has the same shape as the +ve half-cycle of the input voltage.
Q Search
During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode is reverse biased and there is
no current through the circuit. L.e, the voltage across R1 is zero. The net result is that only the +ve
half-cycle of the input voltage appears across the load. The average value of the half-wave rectified
o/p voltage is the value measured on DC voltmeter.
For practical circuits, transformer coupling is usually provided for two reasons.
1. The voltage can be stepped up or stepped down as needed.
2. The AC source is electrically isolated from the rectifier. Thus, preventing shock hazards
in the secondary circuit.

3.5 PRECAUTIONS
1. Ensure that the polarities of the power supply and the meters as per the circuit diagram.
2. Keep the input voltage knob of the regulated power supply in minimum position both when
switching ON or switching OFF the power supply.
3. No loose contacts at the junctions.
4. Ensure that the ratings of the meters are as per the circuit design for precision.
3.6 PROCEDURE
