How the capacitor removes the ripples from the rectified voltage?

During the AC cycle, the capacitor charges when the rectifier conducts, and maintains the voltage when the rectifier is not conducting.

Capacitor circuits which smooth out rectified ac voltage are known?

You bet they are known. They are used all over the place, probably several in your house.


What type of capacitor is often used in power-supply circuits to filter the rectified AC?

The electrolytic capacitor is most often used in power supply circuits to filter the rectified AC.


Will a capacitor lower voltage?

A: As soon as a DC voltage is applied the capacitor is a short or no voltage


What is the reliable smoothing capacitor for rectified 24VDC?

FOR A 24VDC it is best to install a 50v breakdown capacitor to ensure reliability


Why is voltage rating of a capacitor important to the user?

The voltage rating of a capacitor tells the user how much voltage the capacitor can withstand. If a user exceeds this voltage, the capacitor's dielectric may be damaged and destroyed.


Can capacitor increase low voltage to high voltage?

yes a capacitor can improve voltage by improving power factor


How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?

For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.


How can a capacitor reduce the effects of ripple voltage?

The smoothing capacitor converts the full-wave rippled output of the rectifier (which is left over AC signal) into a smooth DC output voltage A smoothing capacitor after either a half-wave or full-wave rectifier will be charged up to the peak of the rectified a.c. Between peaks of the a.c. the stored voltage will drop by a degree dependent on how much current is drawn from it by the load. The larger the value of the capacitor, the less drop there will be, and therefore less ripple when loaded.


Whats the highest voltage increase i can make when replacing a Capacitor?

you cannot increase the voltage by replacing a capacitor. A capacitor is a passive components it has no gain.


What is the purpose of capacitor in power supply higher than rated voltage?

The voltage marked on a capacitor is its MAXIMUM SAFE WORKING VOLTAGE. The capacitor will work in a circuit at any voltage lower than that, but it may fail at any higher voltage.
