A capacitor acts as the filter. The one that - Capacitor
removes ripples from the output of the
rectifier circuit. The type of capacitor
used in this purpose is the electrolytic
capacitor.
 Internal Parts of an AC-DC Power Supply
Rectifier Diode - A device which only allows current to
flow in only one direction. It converts
alternating current into direct current.
Internal Parts of an AC-DC Power Supply
Fuse - A protective device used to prevent
the circuit from short circuit.

Fuse is inside the fuse holder.

 Internal Parts of an AC-DC Power Supply
On-Off switch - It is used to switch on and off the
circuit.

Fuse is inside the fuse holder.
