    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.
