Question

A half wave rectifier is supplied through 230 V, 50 Hz supply. The output frequency is

A.

50 Hz

B.

75 Hz

C.

150 Hz

D.

100 Hz

Correct option is A


In a half-wave rectifier, the output frequency is the same as the input AC supply frequency because only one half-cycle of the input waveform is allowed to pass through. The rectifier blocks the negative half-cycles, but the positive half-cycles pass at the same frequency as the input.
Since the input frequency is 50 Hz, the output frequency will also be 50 Hz.
