In which rectifier is the ripple factor less?
Correct answer: A. Full wave
- A. Full wave
- B. Half wave
- C. Both A and B
- D. None of them
Explanation
Lower the value of the ripple factor higher will be the efficiency of the rectifier. As we know that half-wave rectifier is less efficient as compared to a full-wave rectifier, hence, its ripple factor is greater than that of a full-wave rectifier and its value is 1.21.

About Alternating Current
Alternating current varies periodically, so phase relationships become essential when current passes through a resistor, capacitor or inductor. The chapter distinguishes resistance from capacitive and inductive reactance, explains phase lead and lag, and connects changing electric and magnetic fields with the production and properties of electromagnetic waves.
