Question
Download Solution PDFIf input frequency is 100 Hz for a half-wave rectifier, the ripple frequency of it would be _______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is option 3): (100 Hz)
Concept:
The ripple frequency of the output and input is the same.
This is because one half-cycle of input is passed and another half-cycle is seized.
So, effectively the frequency is the same
so fin = fr
the ripple frequency = 100 Hz
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is f0, where f0 is the input line frequency. The ripple frequency of a center-tapped or a bridge-type full-wave rectifier is 2f0.
