Fortunately, we did not run into any issues while performing the experiment. We were able to view the output waveforms of each experiment through the oscilloscope and was able to confirm if the experiment was being performed correctly. Overall, we learned a lot about full-wave and half-wave rectification through this experiment. References: 1 Fundamental of Analog Circuit – Thomas L Floyd, David M.
