To smooth a rectifier's output, a filter capacitor is connected:
AAcross the primary coil
BIn parallel with the load
CAcross the diode only
DIn series with the load
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. In parallel with the load
A capacitor across the output terminals, parallel to the load, charges on peaks and fills in the dips.
