Diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one direction. By allowing current to flow in one direction, diode can be used in many applications. In this lab, we are going to experiment with two different diode applications: half-wave rectifier and full-wave rectifier. Then, we will experiment with capacitor to further rectify the signals. However, since this experiments deal with AC signal, we will first study AC signal and transformer. 2.0 Experiment 01 AC Signal and Transformer
AC signal is a time dependent signal source voltage and current sources that vary with time. Our household power supply actually delivers an AC signal in sinusoidal form. Approximately it is given by:

3.0 Experiment 02: Half-wave Rectifier In this experiment, we will study the function of a diode. We will build what is called a halfwave rectifier circuit. By the end of the experiment, hopefully we will understand the behavior of a diode. Equipment and Components 1.

In this experiment, we will make the signal smooth by filtering the full-wave obtained previously. By smoothing, we mean to convert AC signal to DC signal. We will use a capacitor in parallel with the load and observe the voltage across the load. Equipment and Components 1.
