A capacitor is connected across the load resistor in rectifier circuits in order to:
(a) To have an output voltage in one direction (b) Reduce the ripple voltage (c) Increase the ripple voltage (d) None of above

 

Hello,

This looks like a homework question.
What do you think what happens?

Bertus

 

On way to go about is to look at each proposed answer and see if you can describe either why it might be true or why it can't be true.

 

Do you know what a capacitor does?

i think this the correct answer
(c)Increase the ripple voltage

 

i think this the correct answer
(c)Increase the ripple voltage

Even simpleton like myself knows that C is the wrong answer.

 

Hello,

Have a look at the attached PDF.
The pages 24 and further will explain what a capacitor is and how the capacitor works.
