Why does the output frequency of a full wave rectifier double that of input frequency?

One cycle of the AC input consists of a positive half-cycle followed be a negative half cycle. The FW rectifier basically reverses the polarity of one of the half-cycles, so there are now two positive pulses per single input cycle, effectively doubling the frequency.
Of course the rectifier may be wired for the opposite polarity, with two negative pulses per input cycle, but the same principle applies.

What is the relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a FULL-wave rectifier?
The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave. If the input is a square wave, the output is DC. If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.
What is the input output of rectifier?
Current flowing in only one direction.
If the input frequency to a full wave rectifier is 400Hz what is the ripple frequency?
twice the frequency that is rectified.
Another way of saying that the output is 70 percent of the signal input at cutoff frequency is that the output is up or down dB at frequency cutoff?
If the output power is 70% of the input power, then the output is roughly 1.55 dB downcompared to the input.If the voltage at any point of the output waveform is 70% of the voltage at the same pointon the input waveform, and the input and output impedance are equal, then the output is3.1 dB down (rounded) compared to the input.
What are the advantages and dis advantage of full-wave bridge rectifier compared with two diodes rectifier?
in full wave bridge rectifier, the input and out put voltages are same but in case of two diode rectifier the input and output voltages can be different as per requirement a there is a transformer in the circuit. The former is lighter and the later is heavier.
What is output frequency of bridge rectifier?
twice the input frequency

What is the number of dc pulses in the output of a full-wave rectifier whose input frequency is 50 Hz?
Output of the 50 Hz full-wave rectifier consists of 100 Hz positive pulses.
What is the lowest ripple frequency of half wave rectifier?
The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.
What is the output frequency of a half wave rectifier circuit if its input voltage has a frequency of 50 Hz?
The half-wave rectifier is conducting during only half of each cycle, so the fundamental output frequency is 50 Hz, and there are loads of harmonics of 50 Hz. also present in the output.
If input frequency of a full wave rectifier be n then uotput frequency would be?
2n
When a 60 Hz voltage is applied to the input of half wave rectifier what is input freequency?
The relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a half-wave rectifier is one-to-one.(For full-wave, its one-to-two.)The shape won't be the same, as the rectifier will only pass alternate half-cycles, but the apparent frequency will be the same.
What is the input output of rectifier?
Current flowing in only one direction.
If the input frequency to a full wave rectifier is 400Hz what is the ripple frequency?
twice the frequency that is rectified.
Which type of rectifier has the greatest output voltage for the same input voltage and trasformer turns ratio?
Bridge Rectifier
What does the out put wave form looks in a rectifier?
A rectifier allows current to flow only in one direction. In a half-wave rectifier circuit, an input wave which oscillates between positive and negative, will 'pass through' the positive portion of the wave, and when the input is negative will output zero. A full-wave rectifier circuit, is commonly configured with 4 rectifier diodes, which allow a positive wave to output when the input wave is negative.
How do rectifier circuits stabilize the output voltage when the input voltage is subject to fluctuations?
Rectifiers don't "stabilize the output voltage" of rectifier circuits when input voltage fluctuates. The rectifiers just rectify the input, and the output will fluctuate as the input does. Another form of "conditioning" of the rectified output is needed to address the issue of fluctuations. And we use the term regulation to talk about the effect of "stabilizing" an output voltage. Through regulation, the output will be resistant to changes in voltage when changes in the input voltage occur.
