    Technically, it is not simple.
    Realistically, there is a small available range of capacitance values.
    Too small of a value can result in excess ripple under severe load.
    Too high of a value can cause an unnecessary inrush current.

    The true capacitance value depends on voltage, current draw, resistance of the transformer and the diodes........

    Here is a good read:

    perfecto! Thanks
