Question 1 of 27070

Q

The ratio of the frequencies of the output and input circuits of a single-phase full-wave rectifier:

🔍 Key Concepts

• Behavior of a single-phase full-wave rectifier over one complete AC cycle • How output waveform frequency compares to the input AC supply frequency • Effect of rectifying both half-cycles (positive and negative) of the AC input

💭 Think About

• Sketch or visualize one full cycle of a sine wave and then draw what happens after full-wave rectification. How many output pulses do you get for each input cycle? • Compare this to a half-wave rectifier: for one input cycle, how many pulses appear in the output there, and how is full-wave different? • Think about the number of times per second the output voltage reaches a peak compared to the input AC waveform.

✅ Before You Answer

• Make sure you clearly distinguish between waveform shape (DC with ripple) and frequency of the ripple • Confirm how many output peaks occur during one complete 360° input cycle • Verify whether the output ripple frequency is equal to, greater than, or less than the input AC frequency before choosing a ratio.
