Question:

In a full wave rectifier circuit operating from 50 Hz mains frequency, the fundamental frequency in the ripple would be

Options:

25 Hz

50 Hz

70.7 Hz

100 Hz

Correct Answer:

100 Hz

Explanation:

In full wave rectifier, we get the output for the positive and negative cycle of input a.c. Hence the frequency of the ripple of the output is twice than that of input a.c. i.e. 100 Hz.
