Theory:-

Superposition theorem:-

The superposition theorem states that in a linear bilateral network consisting N number of

sources each branch current is the algebraic sum of N currents through ( branch voltage), each of

which is determined by considering one source at a time and removing all other sources. In

removing the sources, voltage sources are short circuited or replaced by resistances equal to their

internal resistances for no ideal sources, while the ideal current sources are open circuited.

PROCEDURE:

1. Connect the circuit as per the fig (1).

2. Adjust the output voltage of sources X and Y to appropriate values (Say 30V and20V

respectively).

3. Note down the response (current, IL) through the branch of interest i.e. AB ammeter

reading.

4. Now set the source Y (20V) to 0V.

5. Note down the response (current, ILl) through the branch AB (ammeter reading).

6. Now set the source X (20V) to 0V and source Y to 20V.

7. Note down the response (current, ILll) through the branch AB (ammeter reading).

STATEMENTS:

It states that any linear, active network with two open terminals can be replaced by an equivalent

circuit consisting of Thevenin’s equivalent voltage source Vth in series with Thevenin’s equivalent

resistance Rth. Where Vth is the open circuit voltage across the two terminals and Rth is the

resistance seen from the same two terminals.

Theory:

The venin’s theorem:

The values of VTh and RTh are determined as mentioned in thevenin’s theorem.

Once the thevenin equivalent circuit is obtained, then current through any load resistance RL

connected across AB is given by, I =

Thevenin’s theorem is applied to d.c. circuits as stated below.

Any network having terminals A and B can be replaced by a single source of e.m.f.

VTh in series with a source resistance RRh.

(i) The e.m.f the voltage obtained across the terminals A and B with load, if any removed i.e.,

it is open circuited voltage between terminals A and B.

(ii) The resistance RTh is the resistance of the network measured between the terminals A and B

with load removed and sources of e.m.f replaced by their internal resistances. Ideal

voltage sources are replaced with short circuits and ideal current sources are replaced

with open circuits.

To find VTh, the load resistor ‘RL’ is disconnected, then VTh = Χ R3

To find RTh,

RTh = R2 +

WHEN I2=0

THEORY:

A port is normally referred to a pair of terminals of a network though which we can

have access to network of calculating current in any part of network. Frequently the problem is

move restried in nature and may be that of calculating the response at a terminal pair designated an

input when excitation is applied at another terminal pair designated as input terminals. It is a

problem of terminal through which it is accessible, is called “Two Port Network.“

If we relate the voltage of one port to the current of the same port, we get driving

point immitance. On the other hand, if we relate the voltage of one port to the current at another

port, we get transfer immittance. Immitance is a general term used to represent either the

impudance or the admittance of a network.

We will consider a general two-port network composed of linear, bilateral elements

and no independent sources. Dependent sources are permitted. It is represented as a black box with

two accessible terminals pairs as shown in. The voltage and current at port -1 are V1 and I1 and at

port =II are V2 and I2. The position of V1 and V2 and the directions of I1 and I2 are customarily

selected. out of four variables, I1I1V2 and I2 only two are independent. The other two are expressed

in terms of the independent variable of network parameters.

Procedure:

1. Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.

2. Open the port – I i.e, I1=0 find the values of I1,I2, V1.

3. Short circuits the port V2 =0 find the values of V2,I1, I2.

4. Repeat steps 2,3 for port – II and find the values of V1,I1,I2 and V2,I1,I2 respectively.

5. Find all the parameters of two port networks I,e, Z,Y, ABCD, AI BI CI DI, h, g parameters

from the above data.

PRECAUTIONS:

1. Initially keep the RPS output voltage knob in zero volt position.

2. Set the ammeter pointer to zero position.

3. Take the readings without parallax error.

4. Avoid loose connections.

5. Do not short-circuit the RPS output terminals.

7 Connecting Wires As Required

THEORY:-

A p-n junction diode conducts only in one direction. The V-I characteristics of the diode

are curve between voltage across the diode and current through the diode. When external voltage is

zero, circuit is open and the potential barrier does not allow the current to flow. Therefore, the

circuit current is zero. When P-type (Anode is connected to +ve terminal and n- type (cathode) is

connected to –ve terminal of the supply voltage, is known as forward bias. The potential barrier is

reduced when diode is in the forward biased condition. At some forward voltage, the potential

barrier altogether eliminated and current starts flowing through the diode and also in the circuit.

The diode is said to be in ON state. The current increases with increasing forward voltage.

When N-type (cathode) is connected to +ve terminal and P-type (Anode) is

connected to –ve terminal of the supply voltage is known as reverse bias and the potential barrier

across the junction increases. Therefore, the junction resistance becomes very high and a very

small current (reverse saturation current) flows in the circuit. The diode is said to be in OFF state.

The reverse bias current due to minority charge carriers.

(ii) ZENER DIODE AS VOLTAGE REGULATOR:

THEORY:

A zener diode is heavily doped p-n junction diode, specially made to operate in

the break down region. A p-n junction diode normally does not conduct when reverse biased. But

if the reverse bias is increased, at a particular voltage it starts conducting heavily. This voltage is

called Break down Voltage. High current through the diode can permanently damage the device

To avoid high current, we connect a resistor in series with zener diode. Once the

diode starts conducting it maintains almost constant voltage across the terminals what ever may

be the current through it, i.e., it has very low dynamic resistance. It is used in voltage regulators.

HALF WAVE RECTIFIER

AIM:

1.To obtain the load regulation and ripple factor of a half-wave rectifier by using

(a). without Filter

(b). with Filter

2. To observe the input and output waveforms of a half-wave rectifier.

APPARATUS:


1 Diodes IN 4007 (Si) 1

2 Decade Resistance Box (1KΩ -10 KΩ) 1

3 Transformer 230 V AC 1

4 Capacitor 100µF 1

5 Bread Board

6 Digital Voltmeter (0-20)V (AC & DC) 2


THEORY:

During positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode D1 is in forward bias and

conducts through the load resistor R1. Hence the current produces an output voltage across the

load resistor R1, which has the same shape as the +ve half cycle of the input voltage.

During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the diode is reverse biased and there

is no current through the circuit. i.e, the voltage across R1 is zero. The net result is that only the

+ve half cycle of the input voltage appears across the load. The average value of the half wave

rectified o/p voltage is the value measured on dc voltmeter.

For practical circuits, transformer coupling is usually provided for two reasons.

1. The voltage can be stepped-up or stepped-down, as needed.

2. The ac source is electrically isolated from the rectifier. Thus preventing shock hazards

in the secondary circuit.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

(a) WITHOUT FILTER:

(b) WITH FILTER:

PROCEDURE:


2. Connect the primary side of the transformer to ac mains and the secondary side to the

rectifier input.

3. By using the multimeter, measure the ac input voltage of the rectifier and, ac and dc

voltage at the output of the rectifier.

4. Find the theoretical value of dc voltage by using the formula,

Vdc=Vm/П

Where, Vm=2Vrms, (Vrms=output ac voltage.)

Now, the Ripple factor is calculated by using the formula

Γ = ac output voltage (Vac)/dc output voltage (Vdc)

5. By increasing the value of the resistance from 1 KΩ to 10KΩ, the voltage across the load

(VL) and current (IL) flowing through the load are measured.

6. Draw a graph between load voltage (VL) and load current (IL) by taking VL on X-axis and

IL on y-axis.

FULL WAVE RECTIFIER

AIM:

1. To obtain the load regulation and ripple factor of a full-wave rectifier by using

(a). without Filter

(b). with Filter

2. To observe the input and output waveforms of a full-wave rectifier.

APPARATUS:


1 Diodes IN 4007 (Si) 2

2 Decade Resistance Box (1KΩ-10 KΩ) 1

3 Transformer 230 V AC 1

4 Capacitor 100µF 1

5 Bread Board

6 Digital Voltmeter (0-20)V (AC & DC) 2


THEORY:

The circuit of a center-tapped full wave rectifier uses two diodes D1&D2. During

positive half cycle of secondary voltage (input voltage), the diode D1 is forward biased and D2is

reverse biased.

The diode D1 conducts and current flows through load resistor RL. During negative half

cycle, diode D2 becomes forward biased and D1 reverse biased. Now, D2 conducts and current

flows through the load resistor RL in the same direction. There is a continuous current flow

through the load resistor RL, during both the half cycles and will get unidirectional current as

show in the model graph. The difference between full wave and half wave rectification is that a

full wave rectifier allows unidirectional (one way) current to the load during the entire 360

degrees of the input signal and half-wave rectifier allows this only during one half cycle (180

degree).

INPUT AND OUTPUT WAVEFORMS:

THEORETICAL CALCULATIONS FOR RIPPLE FACTOR & % REGULATION:

(a) WITHOUT FILTER:

For a Full-Wave Rectifier,

Vrms=Vm/√2

Vdc=2Vm/П

Therefore, Ripple factor Γ=√ (Vrms/ Vdc )2 -1 = 0.482


(b) WITH FILTER:

Ripple factor for a Full-Wave Rectifier is Γ=1/ (2√3 fRC).

Where f =50Hz

TRANSISTOR CE CHARACTERISTICS

AIM:

4 Bread Board 1

5 Digital Ammeters (0-200)μA/(0-200)mA 2

6 Digital Voltmeters (0-20)V DC 2


THEORY:

A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals are emitter, base, collector. In

common emitter configuration, input voltage is applied between base and emitter terminals and

out put is taken across the collector and emitter terminals. Therefore the emitter terminal is

common to both input and output.

The input characteristics resemble that of a forward biased diode curve. This is

expected since the Base-Emitter junction of the transistor is forward biased. As compared to CB

arrangement IB increases less rapidly with VBE. Therefore input resistance of CE circuit is higher

than that of CB circuit.

The output characteristics are drawn between Ic and VCE at constant IB. the collector

current varies with VCE unto few volts only. After this the collector current becomes almost

constant, and independent of VCE. The value of VCE up to which the collector current changes

with V CE is known as Knee voltage. The transistor always operated in the region above Knee

voltage, IC is always constant and is approximately equal to IB. The current amplification factor

of CE configuration is given by β = ΔIC/ΔIB
