Being that the capacitor appears as a short during the initial charging, the current through the diodes can momentarily be quite high. To reduce risk of damaging the diodes, a surge current limiting resistor is placed in series with the filter and load.
Ripple voltage in a capacitor-input filter primarily arises from the charging and discharging cycles of the capacitor. When the rectifier conducts, the capacitor charges to the peak voltage of the input signal. As the load draws current, the capacitor discharges, causing the voltage to drop until the rectifier conducts again, resulting in a voltage ripple. The magnitude of this ripple depends on factors such as the load current, capacitance value, and input frequency.
After 5 time constants, capacitor voltage/current will be about 99.3% of the input step change.
at full input, if the transistor is working, the value of capacitor will be 0.
To design a simple integrator with an op amp, place a resistor and capacitor in series in the feedback loop, between output and inverting input. Place another resistor from circuit input to the inverting input. Ground the non-inverting input. The current through the input resistor will be balanced with the current through the feedback resistor. Since there is a capacitor also, the voltage slope at the output will be proportional to the current. If you want the capacitor to discharge faster in one direction, you can place a diode (and optional resistor) across the feedback resistor. This works because the capacitor resists a change in voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance. The equation is dv/dt = i/c. This means that dv/dt is linear with constant i and c. In this configuration, a constant current input will be balanced with a linear voltage ramp on the output, limited only by the range of the op amp. Constrast this with a simple RC circuit - with constant voltage, the RC circuit will exhibit a logarithmic output. If, for instance, you were to drive this circuit with a square wave, the output would be triangular. With the diode, the output would be sawtooth.
A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input

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.
LC filter It is a combination of inductor and capacitor filter. Here an inductor is connected in series and a capacitor is connected in parallel to the load as shown in fig 5.6. As discussed earlier, a series inductor filter will reduce the ripple, when increasing the load current. But in case of a capacitor filter it is reverse that when increasing current the ripple also increases. So a combination of these two filters would make ripple independent of load current. The ripple factor of a chock input filter is given by Since the d.c. resistance of the inductor is very low it allows d.c. current to flow easily through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c. component passes through it. The capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c components passes through the load resistor RL. Bleeder resistor For optimum functioning, the inductor requires a minimum current to flow through, at all time. When the current falls below this rat, the output will increase sharply and hence the regulation become poor. To keep up the circuit current above this minimum value, a resistor is permanently connected across the filtering capacitor and is called bleeder resistor. This resistor always draws a minimum current even if the external load is removed. It also provides a path for the capacitor to discharge when power supply is turned off.

A capacitor allows AC (to pass through) because capacitors resist a change in voltage.. The capacitor need change resist in Input signal
