Capacitor filter works best on small or large loads?
Small
Choke filter works best on small or large loads?
Large
Choke filter in series or parallel?
Series
2 types of resistors
Varible and fixed
H
H
Which capacitor is polarity sensitive?
Electrolytic
More loads added to the cap fileted cct would do what to %ripple?
Increase it.
Remember lower %ripple better
When choke filter is added to the filtered cct the %ripple would
Decrease
Better for %ripple
