I have a power adapter that says it outputs 23 volts dc. I opened it up and measured 30 some volts right off the tranformer. With a 50 volt capacitor and full wave rectifier hooked up, the output reads 50 some volts. 1: Why is this happening? 2: How is the cap charging to a voltage higher than the supply? (Note; originally there was a small circuit installed to output of transformer, which had a full wave rectifier and a 50v 47uf cap, i removed it and hooked up my own components and both ways yielded the same output. Me not know why)
