Assemble the voltage stabilizer on the same breadboard of the voltage rectifier.
The input of the voltage stabilizer is the output voltage of the voltage rectifier.
Use the oscilloscope to display the waveform of the DC output voltage. Record
and explain the experimental results.

respectively. For each , use a multimeter the measure the DC output voltage.
R1
Record and explain the experimental results. Compare the experimental results
with the theoretical calculation.
R2
Select the values of R1 and R2 such that R 1 >5 and then use the multimeter to
measure the DC output voltage. Record and explain the experimental results.
