We constructed the circuit below
and when measuring the output we got a ripple factor of abut 25%.
We then added a 10 ohm resistor next to the capacitor as shown,
and the results were a ripple factor of 29%.
I've been stuck and can't figure out why the ripple factor went up just by adding a small resistor in series with the capacitor.
