Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 12

Consider a diagram showing a full-wave rectifier with a capacitor filter. Which of the following best describes the function of the capacitor in the output voltage waveform?

Question diagram
A

It smooths the output by reducing voltage fluctuations.

B

It increases the frequency of the output signal.

C

It completely eliminates the AC component.

D

It acts as a voltage amplifier for the output.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The capacitor filter in a full-wave rectifier smooths the output voltage by reducing fluctuations, resulting in a more constant DC output.
