The ripple frequency of a full-wave rectifier is twice to that of a half-wave rectifier.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.My doubt is from Semiconductor Electronics topic in division Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (a) True

The best explanation: YES, this is a true statement. The RIPPLE frequency is doubled in a full-wave RECTIFIER because we have to rectify both the POSITIVE and negative sides of the waveform. For EXAMPLE, if the input frequency is 50 Hz, then the ripple frequency of a full-wave rectifier is 100 Hz.
