Electronic Devices & Circuits Rectifiers & Filters

For a full-wave rectifier with a capacitor filter, increasing the filter capacitance while load and frequency remain fixed generally causes ripple to?

AIncrease
BDecrease
CBecome independent of load current
DDouble exactly

Show AnswerHide AnswerReport an error

Correct Answer: B. Decrease

Explanation: A larger capacitance stores more charge and its voltage falls less between rectified peaks, reducing ripple.

Reference: Standard electronics: rectifier filtering
