Rectifiers & Filters

If the frequency of the input voltage is 50 Hz50\text{ Hz}, 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)

  1. Half-wave rectifier gives one pulse per cycle: output frequency =f=50= f = 50 Hz.
  2. Full-wave rectifier gives two pulses per cycle: output frequency =2f=100= 2f = 100 Hz.
  3. So the answer is (b) 50 Hz, 100 Hz.
