Let's analyze the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier.
1. Full-Wave Rectifier:
A full-wave rectifier converts both halves of an AC input waveform into a pulsating DC output waveform.
2. Input Frequency (fin):
The input frequency is given as 50 Hz.
3. Output Frequency (fout):
In a full-wave rectifier, both the positive and negative half-cycles of the input are converted to positive half-cycles in the output. This effectively doubles the frequency of the output waveform.
fout = 2 * fin
fout = 2 * 50 Hz
fout = 100 Hz
Therefore, the output frequency of a full-wave rectifier with an input frequency of 50 Hz is 100 Hz.
The correct answer is:
Option 2: 100 Hz
