Could you please provide an example of what a voltage
Ripple might look like in a practical scenario? Perhaps you could describe a situation where a voltage ripple might occur and how it could affect the performance of an electrical system or device? It would be helpful if you could also explain why voltage ripples are important to consider in the design and operation of electrical systems.

The frequency of this ripple often corresponds to the supply frequency, which is typically 50Hz or 60Hz in most electrical grids worldwide.

Voltage
Ripple in power converters pertains to the alternating current (AC) component present within the direct current (DC) output. It represents a minute fluctuation in the steady DC voltage level.

Take the instance of a 12V DC output, where a ripple of 100mV (or 0.1V) peak-to-peak is observed. This indicates that the voltage does not remain strictly constant at 12V but varies slightly.

Specifically, the voltage oscillates between 11.95V and 12.05V, forming a small sinusoidal or similar waveform superimposed on the base 12V DC level.

Additionally,
Ripple can also occur at multiples of the supply frequency, depending on the design and operation of the power converter.
