Filter capacitors smooth out the pulsating DC. Without the capacitors, the pulsating DC drops to zero at the AC crossing point, unless it is a three phase rectifier. Sometimes, that is sufficient. Sometimes, they are followed up with a regulator circuit that further stabilizes the DC.

Natural commutation is used in which kind of circuit?
phase controlled RECTIFIER circuit used Natural Commutation......
Block diagram of smps?
A block diagram of SMPS has a main filter, primary rectifier, and power switch. It also has an output transformer, secondary rectifier, smoothing circuit, and controller.
Why filters are used in rectifier circuit?
to convert pulsed AC to something approximating DC.
Which of what instrument used to convert ac to DC?
We don't use an 'instrument' to covert a.c. to d.c.. Rather, we use a circuit called a 'rectifier'.
What type of transformer is used in rectifier circuit and why?
A step down transformer is used in rectifier circuits so as to bring the rectified voltage to within a reasonable value of the desired output voltage. It is a design decision, based on a compromise between various aspects of the filter and/or regulator that might follow the rectifier.
Why capacitor is used in circuit board?
use as coupling in some circuts and and as a filter in rectifier circuit. use as DC current blocking.

Why capacitor used in rectifier circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
What is a rectifier with a single capacitor filter suitable to supply?
A circuit that doesn't require a lot of filtering such as a charging circuit for a battery. In a single capacitor filter, the sine wave or AC doesn't get completely eliminated.
What is the purpose of the transformer in the half-wave rectifier circuit?
what is the function of transformer in the half wave rectifier circuit
What has the greater current in the diodes bridge rectifier circuit or full-wave rectifier circuit?
They both have the same current.
Why filters are used in rectifier circuit?
to convert pulsed AC to something approximating DC.
What circuit is to be added to a full wave rectifier to produce a smooth DC?
put capacitor parallel on load (peak rectifier) or add low frequency pass filter (composed of L & C) to remove AC components
Which of what instrument used to convert ac to DC?
We don't use an 'instrument' to covert a.c. to d.c.. Rather, we use a circuit called a 'rectifier'.
Output voltage of half wave rectifier without capacitor filter is less or more than rectifier with capacitor filter?
less
