Question

 (1-a) Build a half-wave rectifier circuit with a single diode to perform the charging function. Explain the operation of the diode and the entire circuit. Use drawings to illustrate how battery current changes with the input voltage. (Assume that diodes turn on at 0 V)

(1-b) Build a full-wave rectifier circuit with four diodes to perform the charging function. Explain the operation of the diodes and the entire circuit. Use drawings to illustrate how battery current changes with the input voltage. (Assume that diodes turn on at 0 V)

(1-c) Assuming practical diodes in the full-wave rectifier, describe the behaviour of a single diode as a p-n junction, then analyse the operation of the entire rectifier assuming 0.7-V threshold voltage for each diode. Use simulations to support your analysis.
