Question

In half-wave rectification, what is the output frequency if the input frequency is 50 Hz. What is the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier for the same input frequency.

Answer 1

(i) In half wave rectifier, the frequency of the output is same as that of the input i.e. 50 Hz.

(ii) In full-wave rectifier, the frequency of the out put is twice as that input i.e 100 Hz.
