question_answer 8)

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

Answer:

A half wave rectifier rectifies only one half cycle of input A.C. frequency of the output A.C. = frequency of input A.C. = 50 Hz A full wave rectifier rectifies both halve cycles of the A.C. input frequency of output A.C. = 2 x frequency of input A.C. = 2 x 50 = 100 Hz
