Question

What is the ratio of output frequencies of full-wave rectifier and a half-wave rectifier, when an input of frequency 50 Hz is fed at input? (A) 1: 2 (B) 2: 1 (C) 4: 1 (D) 1: 4

For full-wave rectifier, frequency =2 × input frequency for half-wave rectifier frequency = input frequency. ∴ text Ratio =(2/1)

Q. What is the ratio of output frequencies of full-wave rectifier and a half-wave rectifier, when an input of frequency $50 Hz$ is fed at input?

$1 : 2$

$2 : 1$

$4 : 1$

$1 : 4$

For full-wave rectifier, frequency $= 2 \times$ input frequency for half-wave rectifier frequency = input frequency.
$∴ Ratio = \frac{2}{1}$
