If a full wave rectifier circuit is operating from 50 Hz mains, the fundamental frequency in the ripple will be
- 25 Hz
- 50 Hz
- 70.7 Hz
- 100 Hz
Answer
(4) 100 Hz
Solution
In a full-wave rectifier both half-cycles of the a.c. input produce an output pulse.
⇒ Number of output pulses per second = 2 input frequency
∴ Ripple frequency = 2 50 = 100 Hz
Answer: (4)
