You and your crew have made it through the night and the day has brought more warmth. After searching the industrial site, you find an abundant amount of fuel to run the generators to keep you warm. You also find a memory card labelled “cure”, but your cell phone battery is dead. First things first, you will need to stay safe as the zombies continue to hunt you in your current location. The industrial site is surrounded by a metal chain-link fence. You decide you will electrify the fence to keep the zombies from scaling it. But the output voltage from the generators is not high enough to really deter them. You would like to apply around 10 kV to the fence (AC or DC, at that voltage it doesn’t really matter). You find a transformer that you can use but it only has a turn ratio of 10. You find some diodes and capacitors and construct the circuit shown in Figure 3 with the intention of hooking Vout to the fence. hypothesize how you could adapt this circuit with additional capacitors and diodes to reach an output voltage of near 10 kV. Include your proposed circuit diagram and an explanation of why this will work. Construct the circuit you designed
