Best Answer

The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave.

If the input is a square wave, the output is DC.

If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.

Your question is incomplete. In order to answer it I must do so based on an assumption.

The assumption being that the frequency to which your refer is that of the ripple on the rectified voltage.

There are two basic types of rectifier, half wave and full wave.

A full wave rectifier conducts on only one half cycle of the a.c. input. The ripple will therefore be at the frequency of the a.c.

A full wave rectifier conducts on both half cycles of the a.c. input. The ripple will therefore be at twice the frequency of the a.c.

Why in 4 diode full wave rectification you use bridge?

bridge is use in 4 diode fullwave rectification to allow complete cycle so that there will an output DC for both the positive and ndgative half-cycle of the input AC.


What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?

The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.


Why does the output frequency of a full wave rectifier double that of input frequency?

One cycle of the AC input consists of a positive half-cycle followed be a negative half cycle. The FW rectifier basically reverses the polarity of one of the half-cycles, so there are now two positive pulses per single input cycle, effectively doubling the frequency. Of course the rectifier may be wired for the opposite polarity, with two negative pulses per input cycle, but the same principle applies.


What devices could be used on the output of a half wave rectifier?

The waveform from a half wave rectifier looks just as it is described by its name: half of a full sine wave. That will cause a pulsed or "ripple" effect in the output voltage and current that come out from the rectifier. Whether that will cause a problem depends on the application you are using. For instance, if it is a light bulb, it will appear to flicker at the frequency of the alternating current service that has been rectified, which can be very annoying! If it is a device such as a charger for the battery of a digital camera or an electric shaver, the pulsed output current doesn't matter at all.


What is the input output of rectifier?

Current flowing in only one direction.

Why the output wave shape of the rectifier is disorted at high frequency supply?

A: A rectifier is simply a diode or is it? At hi frequency the storage time or the disconnect time becomes significant that is why it looks distorted to the scope


What is the output frequency of a half wave rectifier circuit if its input voltage has a frequency of 50 Hz?

The half-wave rectifier is conducting during only half of each cycle, so the fundamental output frequency is 50 Hz, and there are loads of harmonics of 50 Hz. also present in the output.


What is the number of dc pulses in the output of a full-wave rectifier whose input frequency is 50 Hz?

Output of the 50 Hz full-wave rectifier consists of 100 Hz positive pulses.


When a 60 Hz voltage is applied to the input of half wave rectifier what is input freequency?

The relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a half-wave rectifier is one-to-one.(For full-wave, its one-to-two.)The shape won't be the same, as the rectifier will only pass alternate half-cycles, but the apparent frequency will be the same.


Why in 4 diode full wave rectification you use bridge?

bridge is use in 4 diode fullwave rectification to allow complete cycle so that there will an output DC for both the positive and ndgative half-cycle of the input AC.


What is the frequency of ripple components in the output of capacitor filter?

It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.


What effect does an open diode have on the output voltage of a half wave rectifier and on a full wave rectifier?

An open diode will result in no output from a half wave rectifier, and an open diode will cut the output of a full wave rectifier in half.


What happens to the output when one of the diode becomes open in full wave bridge rectifier?

The output degrades to a half-wave rectifier.

Why dc output voltage of a bridge rectifier varies with the load current?

aA A: the output of a Bridger's rectifier will always follows proportionally to the load since it does not regulate the output it merely transform AC TO DC '
