CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
CONNECTION DETAILS:
Connections are done as in the circuit. The A.C. supply is
given to both the input wires of the transformer and the
two ends of the secondary coil is given to the P side of the
two diodes and the N side of the diodes are twined and
then connected to one end of the capacitor and the other
end to the center tap lead and to the resistor. Further, the
other end of capacitor with the diode connect ion is
connected to the other end of the resistor. Connect 2 leads
on both the ends of the resistor to measure the output and
this is connected to the +ve & -ve terminals of the bulb.
