in a full wave rectifier with input frequency 50 Hz the ripple in the output is mainly of the frequency (in Hz)

Correct answer: C. 100

  • A. 25
  • B. 50
  • C. 100
  • D. none

Explanation

In a full-wave rectifier circuit, the output waveform consists of both positive half-cycles of the input alternating current (AC) signal. As a result, the output frequency of the full-wave rectifier is double that of the input frequency.If the input frequency (f_in) is 50 Hz, the output frequency (f_out) of the full-wave rectifier will be:f_out = 2 * f_inFor the given input frequency of 50 Hz:f_out = 2 * 50 Hz = 100 HzHowever, the question asks about the frequency of the ripple in the output. The ripple frequency is equal to the output frequency of the full-wave rectifier, which is 100 Hz.So, the ripple in the output of a full-wave rectifier with an input frequency of 50 Hz is mainly of the frequency 100 Hz. The correct answer is (c) 100 Hz

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
