Ahhhh yes...thank you.
But the rippled portion isn't actually alternating...it's magnitude is just changing over time??
Does anyone have a graph of the current thru cap superimposed over rectified voltage across a capacitor. I've tried to graph it...It seems like the current in the cap will not be able to reverse direction because of the diodes of the rectifer...confused once again!
