Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about a half-wave rectifier?
Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1The ratio of DC power output to the applied input AC power is known as rectifier efficiency.
- 2The pulsating current in the load contains an alternating component whose fundamental frequency is not equal to the supply frequency.✓
- 3In half-wave rectification, the rectifier conducts current only during the positive half-cycles of the input AC supply.
- 4The AC supply delivers power only half the time, therefore the average output is low.
Correct answer
The pulsating current in the load contains an alternating component whose fundamental frequency is not equal to the supply frequency.
