it would help if you asked a specific question. in your circuit you convert a/c to dc and power a load

Would like to know about smoothing the ripples out and stepping up volts

You do not need to understand the physics behind inductors until you study electronics. Just imagine it being a resistor which has a higher resistance when you apply higher frequency AC.

@ceaz101 If you are still interested in the physics behind what @LeBtuch told you, I recommend to look up: capacitiv/inductive reactance, impedance, the basics of electro magnitisms and maybe Lenz' Law. If you are happy with just the relation, the formula might help to remind things better: XL= 2*pi*f*L ( X with Index L is the inductive reactance (AC resistance) of the inductor and L is the inductance).

I'm not being ignorant but I didn't get a great education from my school but willing to learn as I am looking at electric vehicle design

Ok, so here are the basic physics in an inductor: When you flow a current through an inductor, a magnetic field will build up. This field stores energy compareable to a capacitor. When you interrupt the current through the inductor, the magnetic field collapses giving its energy back to the system. This creates a current in the opposite direction. The magnetig field builds up slowly, so if you apply higher frequencys to an inductor, the field is not able to build up completely, so the inductor behaves like a resistor.
