I have added a full wave bridge to a plug-in 18VAC transformer. I have also attached a 5K capacitor across the bridge output. The output voltage is now 26V. Why is the output voltage higher than the input voltage?
That's assuming he's in the US but he didn't fill his location in so we don't know.If the voltage in your wall outlet is 120VAC, that's RMS. It has a peak value of circa 170Vp, and a peak-to-peak voltage of 339Vpp.
I am not in the US and my mains voltage is 120VAC.That's assuming he's in the US.
Don't you mean a capacitor?

I don't think he's using a 5k capacitor because it would be huge.
Does the tunnel have a "crossover" at half-way?
I've heard of inches, feet and Farenheight just never quarts.
We don't drive on the wrong side of the road, you drive on the wrong side of the road. The left hand side of the road is the best side to drive on because the right eye is slightly stronger in most people which makes avoiding cars coming towards you, on the right hand side of the road, easier.
I've asked various times, but no one has ever been able to suggest a sensible reason for driving on the right?.
If you're referring to the "Chunnel," it's for trains only. I wonder who's on the "right" side there?? If I recall the Mission Impossible movie, it seems that the train entering the tunnel was on the left side. The Brits win again
The reason is far older than that, it's back to horse days - most people are right handed, so riding on the left means you have your sword arm on the right side to defend yourself against an oncoming opponent.
Research in 1969 by J. J. Leeming showed countries driving on the left have a lower collision rate than countries driving on the right. This research is questioned in Peter Kincaid's book on the rule of the road,[citation needed] but some countries that have switched to driving on the right, such as Sweden), have seen their long-term accident rates increase by more than any increase in traffic volume[citation needed]. It has been suggested, but not proven, that this is partly because it is more common to be right-eye dominant.[12][13][14] Traffic flows in a clockwise direction when driving on the left which enables right eyed people to use the right eye to see oncoming traffic. When overtaking (passing) on a right-side-driving road, the right-eyed driver looks in the wing mirror (side mirror) with the left eye and also views the oncoming traffic with the left eye which is not suited to the majority right-eyed people.
