Q. In the half wave rectifier circuit operating from 50 Hz mains frequency, the fundamental frequency in the rippel would be
A) 25 Hz
B) 50 Hz
C) 70.7 Hz
D) 100 Hz
Explanation
(b) In half wave rectifier, we get the output only in one half cycle of input AC therefore, the frequency of the ripple of the output is same as that of input AC $ie,\ $50 Hz.
