In a full wave bridge rectifier

  • the output is pure DC. Frequency is 0 Hz.
  • the output frequency is twice the input frequency.
  • the output voltage is twice the input voltage.

Explanation from PART66Online

A full-wave bridge conducts on both halves of each input cycle, inverting the negative half so two output pulses appear per input cycle. The ripple frequency is therefore twice the input frequency. The output is pulsating DC, not pure 0 Hz, and the voltage is set by the input, not doubled.

Don't get confused guys, without a smoothing circuit the o/p is not a pure dc, and correct answer have to be in this case: "the output frequency is twice the input frequency". if i'm wrong plz, don't hesitate to prove it :D

Hey!

You're absolute right. :) upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/common...
