POWER SUPPLY II. PARTS OF A POWER SUPPLY III. FILTERED AND UNFILTERED POWER SUPPLY IV. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FILTERED AND UNFILTERED POWER SUPPLIES 1. STABLE OUTPUT: PROVIDES SMOOTH, RELIABLE DC VOLTAGE WITH MINIMAL RIPPLE. 2. ENHANCED PERFORMANCE: ENSURES BETTER DEVICE PERFORMANCE AND LONGEVITY. 3. VERSATILITY: SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE ELECTRONICS REQUIRING CLEAN POWER. 1. HIGHER COST: MORE EXPENSIVE DUE TO ADDITIONAL FILTERING COMPONENTS. 2. LARGER SIZE: BULKIER DESIGN DUE TO EXTRA COMPONENTS. 3. ENERGY LOSS: SLIGHTLY LOWER EFFICIENCY DUE TO ENERGY LOSS IN FILTERING. 1. SIMPLER DESIGN: EASIER TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN WITH FEWER COMPONENTS. 2. COST-EFFECTIVE: LESS EXPENSIVE, IDEAL FOR NON-CRITICAL APPLICATIONS. 3. COMPACT SIZE: SMALLER AND LIGHTER DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF FILTERING COMPONENTS. 1. UNSTABLE OUTPUT: CONTAINS SIGNIFICANT RIPPLE AND NOISE, LEADING TO INCONSISTENT PERFORMANCE. 2. LIMITED USE: UNSUITABLE FOR APPLICATIONS NEEDING PRECISE VOLTAGE REGULATION. 3. POTENTIAL DAMAGE: INCREASED RISK OF HARMING SENSITIVE DEVICES DUE TO RIPPLE AND NOISE. V. CONCLUSION VI. REFERENCES 1.
