we use resistors to offer opposition to the flow of electric current. Resistors absorbs power from the circuit and convert it into heat that is why they are normally rated for the maximum amount of power that they can salfely handle

resistors are commonly found in electronic devices. a resistor is any material, through inductive reactance or capacitive reactance,which opposes a current. typically by creating a magnetic field or an inverse voltage.


What is an RC filter for a ripple?

Place a capacitor across the output or load and you have your filter. This assumes that your load is a resistor. The capacitor you use depends on the frequency of the ripple. Lower frequencies require larger capacitors. A resistor may be required to make sure you do not damage any of the electronics either in series with the capacitor or immediately after the power source.
