Figure 1: power supply circuit

Voltage source with Full wave bridge Filter by capacitor and

transformer 20:1, No rectifier with ideal regulator by 6.2 v
leakage diodes Zener

Required no. 1

Figure 3:V capacitor and V load

Figure 2:Ripples value

In figure just comparing between source voltage and capacitor voltage to show the full wave
rectifier behavior.
Source frequency is 50 Hz so showing the waves form is to take time 100m sec
• V(n002): is voltage across capacitor
• V(load): is voltage across R load
Shown that voltage across capacitor is ripples (13.986597v ~ 13.650262v)
And the v across the load = 6.122v constant value as shown in fig (2,3)

Required no.2

Figure 4: V load at 186 ohms

*Back ground modified to show the difference*

In figure 4 run the circuit at Rl =186 ohms with no ripples but when running at Rl =183 ohms it

Figure 5: V load at 184 ohms

starts to establish ripples at v load at small scale.

Figure 6: I load at 0.5 Rmin

I load at Rmin = 32.86 mA

Required no. 3

Figure 7:V and i load at 0.5 Rmin

When the circuit runs at Rl = 0.5 Rmin shows the ripples and normal scale that mean the
regulation is not working.

Required no.4

Figure 8:at C less than c min

when it’s working at c less than limit it will not be working as regulation

Figure 9:Circuit at C min

Cmin will be = 0.35mF to work will as a regulation

Figure 10: ripples across Cmin

Ripples will (14.0029- 13.0786= 0.9243) v

Required no.5

Figure 11:voltage across the load

• Voltage across the load will equal 6.111 v

• And Capacitor voltage will be (14.0029~13.0786) v

Required no .6
In power supplies, capacitors are used to smooth (filter) the pulsating DC output after rectification
so that a nearly constant DC voltage is supplied to the load. The pulsating output of the rectifiers
has an average DC value and an AC portion that is called ripple voltage. Filter capacitors reduce
the amount of ripple voltage to a level that is acceptable.so reducing C will increase the ripples as
figure 12.
