In case of full wave rectifier, Fundamental frequency = 2 × mains frequency = 2 × 50 = 100Hz.
- (a) In case of full wave rectifier, Fundamental frequency = 2 × mains frequency = 2 × 50 = 100Hz.
- (b) Barrier potential does not depend on diode design. Barrier potential depends upon temperature, doping density, and forward biasing.
- (c) Barrier potential depends on diode design.
- (d) None of the above.
Correct answer: (a) In case of full wave rectifier, Fundamental frequency = 2 × mains frequency = 2 × 50 = 100Hz.
Solution
In a full-wave rectifier, the output frequency is twice the mains frequency because both the positive and negative halves of the AC waveform are rectified. Hence, the fundamental frequency is 2 × 50 Hz = 100 Hz.
