← TechnologyWhich outcome reduces AC ripple in rectifier circuits?
A)Increased smoothing capacitor capacitance✓
B)Higher diode forward voltage drop
C)Decreased switching Schottky barrier diodes
D)Lower transformer secondary impedance
💡 Explanation
Increased capacitor capacitance reduces ripple through capacitive smoothing; because the capacitor stores charge and discharges slowly; therefore ripple is reduced, rather than being exacerbated by diode drops or lower supply impedance.
