3. Calculations and Discussion 1. Calculate the theoretical output DC voltage of the half-wave rectifier circuit and compare it with measured value. For the capacitive filter, obtain the theoretical values of the DC output voltage and the ripple voltage and compare these values with the measured quantities. Determine also the practical and theoretical values of the ripple factor. 2. Calculate the theoretical output DC voltage of the center-tapped full-wave rectifier circuit and compare it with measured value. For the capacitive filter, obtain the theoretical values of the DC output voltage and the ripple voltage and compare these values with the measured quantities.
