I've been taking apart some basic "wall wart" tramsformers that I've salvaged from junk over the years to use for tinkering, and now I'm wanting to see if there's any way I can 'improve' them in any way
I see that they all have a capacitor rated for around 1000 microfarads & 25v. I have some 2200uF 25v caps and so I was wondering what would happen if I swapped one of those in for the 1000uF one...? Can anyone just tell me the basic effect that increasing or decreasing the capacitance on a circuit like this would have?
It's been a while since I took that ElecEngr class so my memory has gotten fuzzy & I barely recognize any of the stuff in my EE textbook anymore
thanks in advance for any help!
