Question

Calculate frequency of waveform obtained at the output of full wave rectifier

Answer 1

Frequency of output voltage of full-wave rectifier is twice of frequency of its input voltage.{or}

Frequency is measured by how frequently the period is completed in one second. The output signal completes a period twice as fast as the input frequency, as you can see in the diagram.

This is because the input wave is symmetrical, half positive and half negative. Making all the negative components into positive ones doublesthe positive components. The positive component is only half of the original period. Thus the period is halved and the frequency is doubled.

Frequency is measured by how frequently the period is completed in one second. The output signal completes a period twice as fast as the input frequency,
