STANDARD Physics Rectifiers MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium

With an ac input from 50 Hz power line, the ripple frequency is

A

50 Hz in the de output of half wave as well as full wave rectifier

B

100 Hz in the de output of half wave as well as full wave rectifier

C

50 Hz in the de output of half wave and 100 Hz in de output of full wave rectifier

D

100 Hz in the de output of half wave and 50 Hz in the de output of full wave rectifier.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

In a full wave rectifier, the ripple frequency is twice the input frequency, hence 100 Hz. In a half wave rectifier, it remains the same as the input frequency, hence 50 Hz.
