REGULATOR)
Vrms = Vp/√2
Vdc = Vp – ½ Vr(pp)
Note: the smaller the ac variation (ripple) with respect to dc level the
better the filter circuit operation.

T1: C charge fast through the very low resistance of the diode when it conducts
until Vm (peak voltage) is reached.
T2: C discharge slowly through the load, where the rectified voltage drops below
Vm.It charges again when the next cycle comes.
T1 = RDC T3 = Capacitor charging time
T2 = RLC RD<RL
A large value of C is chosen in order to maintain the voltage near the
peak voltage.
