A half wave rectifier is operating from 50 Hz mains. The fundamental frequency of ripple will be _.
Correct answer: D. 50 Hz
- A. 100 Hz
- B. 25 Hz
- C. 200 Hz
- D. 50 Hz
Explanation
The voltage that is obtained in a half wave rectifier has one variation in one cycle of AC voltage. So , fundamental frequency of ripple will be 50 Hz

About Rectification
Rectification converts alternating current into unidirectional current using semiconductor diodes. The content includes half wave and full wave rectifiers, bridge circuits, output waveforms, ripple and smoothing with capacitors, with the difference between rectification and voltage regulation kept clear.
