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?

Open in App
Solution

For a half-wave rectifier, the output frequency is equal to the input frequency. In this case, the input frequency of the half-wave rectifier is 50 Hz.
On the other hand, the output frequency for a full-wave rectifier is twice the input frequency.
Therefore, The output frequency is 2×50=100 Hz.
Final Answer: 50 Hz for half-wave, 100 Hz for full wave.
