Question:

What is the ratio of output frequencies of half-wave rectifier and a full wave rectifier when an input of frequency 200 Hz is fed at the input?

Options:

1:2

2:1

4:1

1:4

Correct Answer:

1:2

Explanation:

For a half-wave rectifier, the output frequency is equal to the input frequency.

For a full-wave rectifier, the output frequency is twice the input frequency.

half-wave /f full-wave = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
