How is a capacitor connected
Capacitor is connected in parallel with the load
What do capacitor filters do
They smooth or filter the voltage waveform across a load.
Helping to reduce ripple
What is another name for an inductor
Choke filter
What is a choke
It’s an inductor that’s used too filter the ripple
How is a choke connected
The choke is connected in series with the load
What is an L-section filter
The L-section filter consists of a capacitor amd a choke working together to filter the output dc voltage
The capacitor provides good filtering at ___ loads while the choke is more effective with ___ loads
Small
Larger
And reduces voltage spikes
A variation in the magnitude of voltage is called?
Ripple
If there’s no load connected to the output of the rectifier a dc voltmeter will display the
Peak voltage
What 2 factors the determine how well the choke filters the output are
Inductance of the choke
Amount of current
