Hello
For a lab project we were instructed to do a full wave rectifier with a capacitor with these parameters:

Then we were instructed to add a 1 ohm resistor in series with the capacitor and notice a difference, we didn't notice anything different from the 2 circuits in terms of Vmax and Vripple aside from a more "stable" signal, what is the 1 ohm resistor doing specifically that allows for a more stable signal? and are there other differences that me and my lab partner are missing?
Thanks.
