What is the purpose of connecting equal-value resistors across power supply filter capacitors connected in series?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: D. All these choices are correct
Equal resistors across series capacitors balance the voltage between them, bleed the charge off after power is removed, and provide a small minimum load. All the listed purposes apply.
Tip: Bleeder resistors do all three jobs.
