ASSIGNMENT 2 Submission Deadline Saturday 31/01/2026 4:30


Question:

Your group is the design team for a new eco-friendly minicomputer. To save costs, you are not
building a physical prototype yet. You must design and verify the "Power and Pulse" module
using an online simulator (like Tinkercad Circuits, Falstad, or Every Circuit).
The Assignment Tasks:

1. The Rectifier Design (Group Member A): Build a Full-Wave Bridge Rectifier in the
simulator. You must use a virtual oscilloscope to show the transformation from a sine
wave (AC) to a bumpy DC wave.
o AI-Resistant Twist: You must intentionally "break" one of the four diodes in the
simulation and take a screenshot of the resulting waveform. Explain why the
circuit now only performs "half-wave" rectification.
2. The Regulation Stage (Group Member B): Take the output from Member A and connect
it to a Zener Diode or a 7805 Voltage Regulator circuit.
o AI-Resistant Twist: Change the "Load Resistor" value three times
(e.g., 100Ω, 500Ω, 1kΩ). Create a table showing that the output voltage stays
constant regardless of the load. AI cannot "fake" the screenshot of your specific
virtual multimeter.
3. The Clock Pulse (Group Member C): Build an Astable Multivibrator (Vibrator circuit)
using a 555 Timer IC to act as the computer's internal clock.
o AI-Resistant Twist: The group must decide on a "secret frequency" (e.g., 125Hz).
Member C must calculate the specific Resistor and Capacitor values needed and
prove it with a simulation screenshot showing the pulse timing.
4. The Final Integration Report (Collaborative): Combine all screenshots into one
document. Write a "Failure Analysis" section: If the computer suddenly starts rebooting,
which circuit (Rectifier, Regulator, or Vibrator) is most likely failing and why?

Free Tools you can make use:

i. [Link] (Best for beginners. It looks like real


hardware (breadboards, batteries).)
ii. [Link] for seeing the "flow" of current (dots
move through the wires). It's great for visualizing rectifiers.)
iii. [Link] visual and works well on mobile phones if you
don't have PCs.)
