hello
I have to calculate the ripple voltage of four different capacitors in a power supply. the power supply is a transformer, bridge rectifier, load resistor and capacitor would go across the load.
I used multisim to simulate the circuit. I looked at the ripple which has a peak to peak value.
my question is, to get the mean dc value, what is the formula for this. is it the peak to peak value times 0.636?
I know 0.636 is the average. but im not sure if the peak to peak part is right?
any help would be great
thanks
simon
