 05. The operation of cacpacitor in rectifier circuit.

To smooth the output of the rectifier a reservoir capacitor is used - placed across the output of the
reciter and in parallel with the load.. This capacitor charges up when the voltage from the rectifier rises
above that of the capacitor and then as the rectifier voltage falls, the capacitor provides the required current
from its stored charge.

02. What role does the value of capacitor used in the clamping circuit play in order to obtain
proper clamping?

Capacitor plays an important role in clamping circuit. Clamper clamps the output to a desired level
without disturbing the shape of the input signal. The capacitor charges upto the desired voltage (clamping
level) during a cycle. In the next cycle the capacitor discharges. Time constant should large enough. This is all
about the behavior of capacitor in a clamping circuit.
