The larger the cap the smaller the ripple at the power supplies output. It smooths the rectifiers output waveform.

Output voltage of half wave rectifier without capacitor filter is less or more than rectifier with capacitor filter?
less
How do you determine the size of acapacitor in a rectifier circuit?
ANSWER In rectifiers for power supplies, the capacitor size is determined by the allowable ripple on the output. This can be determined by the rate at which the capacitor is drained. Specifically, this rate is the current drawn from the capacitor. Assume a half wave rectifier made from four diodes. For part of the cycle, the output current is supplied by the rectifier diode. This is also when the capacitor is charged. While the rectifier is not supplying current -- when the input waveform has dropped below the output voltage -- the capacitor must supply the current. Then, as the input waveform rises above the capacitor voltage, the rectifier supplies the current to charge the capacitor and the output circuit.
How capacitor filter works?
The flux capacitor, which consisted of a regularly squared compartment with three flashing lights arranged as a "Y", was described by Doc as "what makes time travel possible". The device is the core component of Doc Brown's DeLorean.
What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?
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.
What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?
An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.
Output voltage of half wave rectifier without capacitor filter is less or more than rectifier with capacitor filter?
less
If vm is maximum peak voltage of rectifier outputthis rectifier output is connected to the capacitor filterwhat will be the approximate dc output voltage to the capacitor filter?
It should be the rms value of your supply.
What is the difference between with capacitor rectifier and without capacitor rectifier?
To know the difference between capacitor and non capacitor rectifiers one must study what is the function of filter part.the filter part consists of capacitors or inductors or combination of both. the output of a simple diode rectifier is pulsating dc which means it consists of both dc part and ac part. filters are used to remove the ac part from such an output. capacitor filter means that a capacitor is used for filtering out the ac part. non capacitor or inductor filter means that an inductor is used for filtering out the ac part. There is another type called pii filter where both inductor and capacitor are used. Pii filter is the best kind of filter available

What is the effect of a leaky capacitor filter on the output of a full-wave bridge rectifier?
A: The leakage is an additional load to the bridge effect is that the capacitor will get hot then hotter because of it leaks more eventually blows hopefully open or dead short. both of these scenario may save the power supply.
Why use the capacitor in the full rectifier?
to smooth the output waveform
Why capacitor used in rectifier circuit?
To smooth the output of the pulsating DC.
What is the advantage of full wave capacitor rectifier circuit?
to get maximum dc output

What is the maximum DC voltage you could expect to obtain from a transformer with an 18V rms secondary using a full rectifier circuit with a filter capacitor?
25.46V assuming output of transformer is pure sinewave.
