In the half-wave rectifier circuit operating with 50Hz  mains frequency.The  fundamental  frequency in the ripple will be


A) 100 Hz

B) 20Hz

C) 50Hz

D) 25 Hz

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The output is obtained for half-cycle only in half-wave rectifier. Therefore, frequency of the ripple is same as that of the input, 

i. e, 50 Hz
