I want to know how acapacitor on parallel line smoothes the vdc output after arecitifier. Shouldn't it better be put on a serial line.please i need to have an explaination to the mechanism of capacitor operating in this circuit

connecting a capacitor between the input and ground will ground any AC component of the signal, in DC power supply, this AC component represent noise or harmonics..so by connecting capacitor in this way, it will create a more constant output voltage.
certain value of capacitor will filter out certain value of unwanted AC component or noise, thus by connecting different values of cap in parallel(in resistor sense) will give more constant DC.
