EMT 1255 LAB 3

Lab 3 focused on examining the performance and characteristics of rectifier circuits, including half-wave, full-wave, and bridge rectifiers, both with and without filter capacitors. The primary objective was to understand how these circuits convert AC to DC voltage and the effect of adding a filter capacitor on the output waveform. The experiment was divided into three key parts: the first involved constructing and analyzing the half-wave rectifier circuit, the second part focused on the full-wave rectifier, and the third part examined the bridge rectifier. Each section included measuring the output voltage, ripple voltage, and observing the impact of filtering on the rectified signal.
