Question

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.

Answer 1

Input frequency $=$ $50Hz$

For a half-wave rectifier, the output frequency is equal to the input frequency.

$\therefore$ Output frequency $=$ $50Hz$

For a full-wave rectifier, the output frequency is twice the input frequency.

$\therefore$ Output frequency $=2\times 50=100Hz$
