Ripple :

Ripple is the fluctuating AC component present in rectified DC output. The output of a rectifier may either be DC current or voltage.

Ripple Factor:

  • Ripple Factor is the ratio of RMS value of ac component present in the rectified output to the average value of rectified output.
  • It is a dimensionless quantity and denoted by γ.
  • Its value is always less than unity.
  • Ripple factor denotes purity of output voltage.
