First I put the step down transformer to get 5.7 volts then I put a diode and bunch of capacitors after that I put 7805 ic to get constant 5 volts but my out is 4.95 ...will it works ..is my circuit is correct for charging and giving constant supply..
I made bridge rectifier but it reduces my output ....

Post a schematic of what you have completed so far, it will help everyone see what you are doing.

Using one diode, you are only getting half of sine wave, capacitor will discharge lower, and you will see ripples on your 7805, see this link
Using full bridge rectifier, capacitor will remain charged (close to full charge) and it will have less ripples on your 7805, see this link

my circuit is same as this the difference is that I stepped the ac voltage down to 5.7 V and in place of 3300nf I placed 3 4 capcitors .after that i placed the 7805 ic and placed 0.1 uf there ...the output came 4.95

..so are you using AC to convert into DC or are you using a battery of higher voltage and a transformer to step it down to lower voltage?..

Be careful when working with high voltage AC, it hurts.
Stepping voltage down to 5.7 v can cause problems on your voltage regulator. Can you set it at somewhere between 9-24 V?

Hello,

With 5.7 volts from the transformer and a bridge rectifier with e decent capacitor, you will get about 6.66 Volts at the input of the regulator.
As the regulator needs at least 2 Volts higher input voltage as the output voltage, you will have troubles with the regulation.
Either use a transformer with a higher output voltage or use a Low Drop Out regulator.

For 7805 to work properly, it needs minimum 7 V to operate. If you look on the datasheet, it says that 7805 has 2V dropout, and maximum input voltage is 35V.
5.7V will not work properly for you. If may work if you hvae no load, but once you connect something, the voltage will drop even lower, below 5 V.
