🔍 Key Concepts

• DC power supplies after rectification and what the output waveform looks like • How capacitors behave when connected across a DC supply (charging, discharging, smoothing) • Difference between protective devices (like fuses/relays) and passive components like capacitors

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: After AC is rectified to DC, what problem still exists in the output that might affect sensitive automation consoles? • How does a capacitor connected across the output of a rectifier affect voltage variations over time? • Which choices describe something a capacitor can realistically do by itself in this type of circuit?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on how rectified DC differs from ideal, perfectly steady DC • Recall that a capacitor in a DC supply is usually connected in parallel with the load, not in series • Check which options would improve voltage quality versus which would add protection or extra load
