the load resistance
or
(b) Smoothen voltage (in bold) reduces pulsating
The capacitor in parallel charges up when the current
flows through AB.
When the voltage across AB starts to drop (source changes
polarity), the capacitor discharges through the resistor, across AB
The discharges keeps the voltage across R (or AB) up.
By making the discharge long enough, i.e. used larger
capacitance ( = RC) the discharge through the resistor can
continue until the source voltage become positively high again.
