  Physics Investigatory Project:  P-N Junction Diode This document is a physics project on the topic of the p-n junction diode .  This physics project aims to explore the working principles of diodes through hands-on experiments and analysis. The objectives are to study diode construction, investigate forward and reverse biasing, and explore diode I-V characteristics. Results demonstrate the forward and reverse biasing behavior of diodes and validate the underlying principles of diode operation.  

  Physics Investigatory Project:  Full-Wave Rectifier This document is a physics project on the topic of rectifiers. It describes the construction of a full-wave bridge rectifier to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The project aims to understand rectification and explain center-tapped and bridge full-wave rectification. It details the circuit components used, including a transformer, diodes, capacitors, and a resistor. The document explains how the full wave bridge rectifier works during each half cycle to allow current flow in one direction only, producing a pulsating DC output that is filtered by the capacitors. Testing showed the rectifier produced a 12V DC current.
