Output load voltages in Bridge Rectifier circuit

[Mongster]

Homework Statement

It appears to me that output load voltages in a Bridge Rectifier circuit with capacitor always seem to be greater than that without a capacitor.
I'm aware that the function of the capacitors connected across output in rectifiers is to remove pulsation of the DC output, so does it mean that a capacitor in place can also mean that the output load voltages are higher?

Homework Equations

1.Vrms= Vp x 0.707
2. Vavg= Vp x 0.637

Can you show us plots or other information that makes you think this?
