Rectification is the process of converting alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). - Half- wave rectification: Uses one half of the AC cycle, resulting in an output frequency equal to the input frequency. - Full-wave rectification: Uses both halves of the AC cycle (either by using a center-tapped transformer and two diodes or a bridge rectifier with four diodes), resulting in an output frequency that is twice the input frequency.
In half-wave rectification, what is the output frequency if the input frequency is 50 Hz ?
