when a.c convert in d.c then some components of a.c remain with it called ripple factor
Ripple factor ripple factor is very important in deciding the efficiency of the rectifier .ripple factor give the total power converted AC input to the DC output. Ideal ripple factor should be zero and power factor 1. Ripple factor of half wave rectifier 1.21 and full wave rectifier is 0.48.
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.
although the AC signal is rectified the output which we get is the pulsating DC which is not desired because many appliances wok on plain DC voltage . The pulsating DC can be viewed as AC + DC component of the signal ripple factor of a rectified circuit is the ratio of AC component of signal to the DC component of the same rectified output signal. higher the ripple factor says that the signal is not smooth so lesser is its application. the components used to smooth these type of signals or to remove the 'ripple voltage' as called filters
In a half-wave rectifier, the ripple voltage (Vr) can be estimated using the formula ( V_r = V_{DC} \times \frac{1}{2fRC} ), where ( V_{DC} ) is the DC output voltage, ( f ) is the frequency of the AC supply, ( R ) is the load resistance, and ( C ) is the capacitance. For a typical half-wave rectifier with a smoothing capacitor, the ripple voltage is approximately equal to the peak voltage minus the DC voltage, leading to a ripple voltage that can be significant. Assuming ideal conditions and without specific values for ( R ) and ( C ), the ripple voltage can be roughly estimated at around ( 0.5 \times V_{DC} ), resulting in a ripple of about 10V for a 20VDC output. However, the exact value would depend on the circuit's components.
It is defined as the ratio of RMS value of output voltage to the average value of the out put voltage.

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.
Either less ripple voltage with the same filter capacitance, or similar ripple voltage with smaller filter capacitances (and thus physically smaller filter capacitors).
THe Filter capacitor value depnds on the maximum current I of the Power supply , Switching frequency and the permissible ripple C= (I * (1/2f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a full wave rectifier C= (I * (1/f ))/ ( V * %Ripple) - for a Half wave rectifier Where C= Capcitance in Farads I = Current in Amps f = Switching Frequency V = Nominal voltage in this case 12 V Reji J Thoppil
A single phase half wave rectifier outputs ripple the same frequency as the input. A single phase full wave rectifier outputs ripple fundamental twice the input frequency (assuming balanced recitfiers). A three phase full wave rectifier outputs ripple fundamental six times the input frequency. So 50 Hz input would yield 300 Hz ripple. See Sources and Related Links for more information.
