In half-wave rectification, what is the ...

In half-wave rectification, what is the output frequency, if the input frequency is 50Hz. What is the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier for the same input frequency ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A half wave rectifier rectifies only the half of ac input i.e., it conducts once durng an ac input cycle while a full wave rectifies both the half-cycles of the ac input i.e., if conducts twice during a cycle. ltbr. `:.` The output frequency for half-wave is 50Hz.
The output frequency of a full-wave rectifier is `2 xx 50 = 100`Hz.
