The ripple factor of a full-wave rectifier is _.
Correct answer: C. 0.482
- A. 1.21
- B. 0.5
- C. 0.482
- D. 0.9
Explanation
The ratio of the RMS value of an alternating current component in the rectified output to the average value of rectified output is referred to as the ripple factor. This is a value to memorize. The ripple factor of a full-wave rectifier is 0.482. Hence Option C is correct.
