Hello,
I'm new to electronics and I'm using Randy Slone book "guide to understanding electricity and electronics" to build a lab power supply.
I got to the bridge rectifier testing stage and run into problems. The books uses two 10Kohms resistor to measure the DC and AC voltage after the rectifier (see below image). When I measure the DC voltage on the resistors I get same results as in the book, namely, 24v and -24v. When I measure the AC voltage I get 50v on one of the resistors and 0 on the other, while according to the book I should get 12v on each one of them.
I tried using another rectifier and got the same results.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong?
