Rectifiers & Filters
If the frequency of the input voltage is , applied to a (a) half wave rectifier and (b) full wave rectifier. The output frequency in both cases is respectively
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- Half-wave rectifier gives one pulse per cycle: output frequency Hz.
- Full-wave rectifier gives two pulses per cycle: output frequency Hz.
- So the answer is (b) 50 Hz, 100 Hz.
