$1.$ Does this circuit perform as a power supply? $2.$ What is the maximum power this supply can produce? Calculate this using your circuit$$s nominal values. There should be no measurements involved here. $3.$ Use your data to justify the importance and purpose of C$1$ and D$5.$ What happens if C$1$ is made too small? What if it is made bigger? $$ Why is the power supply not as good when D$5$ is removed? $$ What is the disadvantage of D$5?$ Think about power consumption and output levels. $4.$ What changes could be made to this circuit to allow it to supply more power to RL$?$ Assume that RL is automatically at its optimal value to receive maximum power from the circuit. $5.$ What is the minimum size load resistor that keeps this supply regulated $($within $10\%$ of nominal$).$ Calculate this using the circuit$$s nominal values and without using any measurements. $$ When the supply is regulating, is the Zener diode conducting? $$ Why does a smaller resistor cause the supply to stop regulating? $$ What factors would you consider when choosing the maximum resistor size for RL$?($Hint: Look at the Zener data sheet$)6.$ What is the maximum current that goes through the Zener diode in this circuit? RL can be any value between $0$ and $.7.$ How would I change the circuit to get a $5$V DC power supply? Be specific. $8.$ What affect does transposing the transformer$$s secondary coil$$s connections have on the power supply?
