I've tried almost all AC switching circuits available online...Here are two of them which are just little different...


Here one of them has a resistor across output of triac and A1 pin and the other doesn't have that....
I tried the circuit with the resistor connected and used a simple modular switch to perform function of optocoupler.But when I connected the optocoupler in the circuit,the problem I'm facing is with the switching of optocoupler.It's not working.
I'm using MOC3041 optocoupler and BTA16-600BW triac and providing a 5V dc supply with 1kohm resistor connected at input of optocoupler LED.
Does the resistor values connected to AC line affect?
