A rectifier circuit is used to charge a 12 Vdc battery using a 40 Vpp AC source, according to the following circuit. 1.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 (practical). 2.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 (ideal))
