Fullwave rectifier using PN junctions
=====================================
A half wave rectifier output depends on the filter capacitor for a long duration to provide DC output. This
results in larger ripple and not suitable for higher current. A fullwave rectifier solves this by providing
output for both negative and positive halfcycles. However it requires two out of phase AC inputs, generally
provided by a transformer with a center tap. 

**Objective**

Make a full wave rectifier, using two diodes. Two AC waveforms,
differing by 180 degree in phase, are provided by the WG and :math:`\bar{WG}` outputs.

**Procedure**

-  Make connections on a breadboard
-  Enable A1, A2 and A3
-  Set WG to 1000Hz and adjust timebase to view 4 to 5 cycles

**Discussion**

Adding capacitors to reduce the ripple is left as an exercise to the
user. This experiment is only to demonstrate the working of a full wave
rectifier, it cannot provide more than few milli amperes of current.

Why full-wave rectifier is superior to half-wave rectifier ?
