Make me some code..

Reminds me of an Industrial Electronics exam I sat for back in the eighties. The circuit was a pretty basic push-pull amp in which we had to write an essay what happens once power was applied.
The schematic had the diodes on the bridge rectifier for the power supply connected wrong.
I just wrote that 2 diodes across the 15VAC supply would blow up. I was the only one that got it right.

Sounds like my first attempt at building a bridge rectifier when I was about 11 years old.

What I actually constructed was a "ring rectifier" with all the diodes pointing in a circle. There was an almighty bang when I turned the power on and my diodes were no more. Didnt make that mistake again
