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.
it is the distortion or noise present in the signal or harmonics
its importance is tat it tells us the amt of noise present in the wave form
when is ripple fator minimum
Zero

it is nothing but ac ripple neutralizer
for controlling a motor if it is in a important application we use rectifiers because the ripple factor of the chopper is very high in comparison with choppers
when is ripple fator minimum
ripple factor:=21/2 /3 *Xc/XL
The Ripple factor for full-wave rectifier is given by: r= Iac/Idc = 0.482
Ripple factor and form factor both are inerrelated to each other since they represent the extent to which filtering is done(ripple) and rms value of ac is greater than the average value(form). ripple factor=Vr(p-p)/V(dc) form factor=V(rms)/V(av)--Jivan Nepali
when a.c convert in d.c then some components of a.c remain with it called ripple factor
Zero
Ripple factor (γ) may be defined as the ratio of the root mean square (rms) valueof the ripple voltage to the absolute value of the dc component of the output ...
Ripple, in DC power supplies, is technically unitless. Ripple voltage is specified in Volts/Volt, or a percentage. For example, a 12VDC power supply with 120mV (pk-pk) of ripple voltage is (0.12/12) = 1% ripple voltage.

Ripples will increase if capacitance is decreased.
