In a full wave rectifier, the rectification ratio is approximately equal to____________?
Correct answer: C. 81%
- A. 61%
- B. 71%
- C. 81%
- D. 91%
Explanation
The rectification efficiency of an ideal full-wave rectifier is about 81.2%, obtained from the ratio of DC output power to AC input power. Therefore, 81% is the nearest value.
