3. Observe and analyze the input and output waveforms of HWR circuit.
For a half wave rectification, the anode is positive with respect to the cathode and
current will flow at the positive alternation. During the negative alternation, the anode
now is negative the cathode is positive, and there will be no current in the circuit. The
voltage drop across the resistance R is zero. The effective voltage across R will be only
the voltage supplied during the positive alteration, which is a varying voltage from 0V to
the peak voltage of the input signal.
IV. PROCEDURES
1. Connect the circuit shown in Fig. 5.1 .
2. Set the function generator to sinusoidal output with 20Vp-p.
3. Run the circuit. and observe the resulting output.
4. Separate the waveform by varying the vertical position on the settings of the
oscilloscope.
5. Draw the resulting output on Table 5.1. Be sure to observe the correct phase
relationship between the two waveforms.
6. Measure the waveform amplitude and record the results on Table 5.1 beside the
waveforms.
7. Reverse the diode on the circuit and observe the effect on the output waveforms.
8. Draw the result on Table 5.1.
