NEET Physics (general) MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a full-wave rectifier circuit with a capacitor filter as described. If the input AC voltage waveform is a sine wave, which of the following best describes the output voltage waveform after rectification and filtering?

Question diagram
A

A smooth DC voltage with small ripples

B

A pure sine wave identical to the input

C

A half-wave rectified sine wave

D

A square wave

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The capacitor filter in a full-wave rectifier smooths the output voltage, leading to a nearly constant DC voltage with small ripples, as opposed to the sine wave input.
