Capacitor input filters use large capacitors mainly to make the:
ARipple frequency higher
BPeak voltage lower
CTime constant CR large
DDiode current smaller
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Time constant CR large
The output falls at a rate inversely set by C times RL, so a big C gives a long time constant and slow decay.
