The purpose of using a Bleeder resistor across the filter, when designing a d.c. power supply is Correct Answer <p>both to improve regulation of supply and to provide safety to the person handling the equipment</p>

Bleeder resistance:

The bleed resistor is connected across the load as shown below. The primary purpose of this resistance to discharge the stored energy of the capacitor when the power supply is detached from the circuit.

The uses of the bleed resistors mainly include the following:

  • For the purpose of safety from electric shock
  • This resistor is used in voltage regulation
  • This resistor is used in voltage division
  • Hence, Option 4 is correct.
