Procedure:
1. Adjust the supply voltage as used in design procedure. Recommended is 10
peak voltage at frequency of 50 HZ.
2. Arrange the circuit as shown in figure.
3. Record your observations and calculations in tabular form and also plot the
waveforms observed on oscilloscope.
4. Compare the practical output voltage with theoretical output voltage.
