Greinacher Circuit Voltage Doublers

Greinacher Circuit Voltage Doublers

I used a 3.3 µF, 370VAC capacitor in a previous Villard Circuit voltage doubler, but I used 67 nF capacitors in a Greinacher Circuit voltage doubler.

That’s a huge capacitance difference. Did I do the Greinacher Circuit correctly?

Normal Distribution of Sample Means

Normal Distribution of Sample Means

From Statistics Libre Text:

For samples of size 30 or more, the sample mean is approximately normally distributed, with mean μX = μ and standard deviation σX = σ/√n where n is the sample size. The larger the sample size, the better the approximation.

The above is a pretty typical assertion in statistics texts. The derivation must be a doozy, it’s never shown, and there’s rarely a discussion of the Central Limit Theory itself.
