    Calculating voltage output of Capacitor in AC Circuit

    Hey folks, thanks for input. It is all making much more sense. I need to get myself an o-scope though. Am also reading the AC circuits pdf on the site which is enlightening if not long and technical. :-) One question that someone might be able to answer is does running a DC motor with voltage...

    Calculating voltage output of Capacitor in AC Circuit

    Thank you for help with this! I have been having fun lifting weights by blowing up ballons under a bowl with my newly powered mini air compressor. :) One thing though, I didn't understand the forumla, just apprecited the outcome - could someone clarify what p-p stands for? Hamish

    Calculating voltage output of Capacitor in AC Circuit

    Hi there, I'm trying to work out how to calculate the voltage output of a capacitor that I want to use as a filter after using a bridge rectifier. The output from the secondary coil of the transformer is 12vAC max 4amps. The rectifier has a max of 400V and 8amps. I want to understand how...
