Tonite I applied 3v from 2 aa batteries, in parall to 2 bridge
rectifiers, rated at 250v and 6A from radio shack. the outputs of the
rectifiers were hooked in series to each other and a resistor was placed
in line. I took a voltage reading and got .3V. I had planned for it to
raise the voltage to 6V (probably halve the current) but why such the
low E reading? is it the voltage drop across 4 diodes at any given point
in time?
