Multiple choice

Consider the following statements regarding half-wave rectifier: (a) Diode converts ac input voltage to a pulsed dc output voltage (b) Diode introduces a 0.6V drop so o/p peak is 0.6V smaller than the i/p peak (c) The o/p frequency is different than the i/p frequency Which of the above statements is/are true?

  1. Only (a)

  2. Only (a) and (b)

  3. Only (b) and (c)

  4. All the above

  5. None of these

B Correct answer
Explanation

Statement (a) is true.  Diode converts ac input voltage to a pulsed dc output voltageStatement (b) is true: Diode introduces a 0.6V drop so o/p peak is 0.6V smaller than the i/p peak.Statement (c) is false: The o/p frequency is same as the i/p frequency.
