The output frequency of a (i) half-wave rectifier and (ii) full-wave rectifier, if the input frequency is 50 Hz are, respectively
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (i) 50 Hz; (ii) 100 Hz
Given:
Input frequency, $f = 50\,Hz$
For a half-wave rectifier:
Output frequency = Input frequency
$f_{out(half)} = 50\,Hz$
For a full-wave rectifier:
Output frequency = 2 × Input frequency
$f_{out(full)} = 2 × 50 = 100\,Hz$
Final Answer:
(i) 50 Hz, (ii) 100 Hz
