A full wave rectifier circuit consists of two p-n junction diodes, a centre-tapped transformer, capacitor and a load resistance. Which of these components remove the ac ripple from the rectified output?
Answer: (C) Capacitor
The diodes rectify (make the output unidirectional), and the transformer supplies the two halves of the input.
The capacitor connected across the load acts as a filter. It charges near each peak and discharges slowly through the load between peaks, smoothing out the ac ripple.
