When a 60 Hz sinusoidal voltage is applied to the input of a half-wave rectifier what is the output frequency?
The output frequency of the half-wave rectifier will be 60 Hz if the input is a 60 Hz sine wave.
One cycle of the input will include the positive going and the negative going portions of the sine wave. The output will have either the positive going or negative going half of the input wave, and will have no output during the other half of the input sine wave when the diode is reverse biased. What that output will look like on an oscilloscope is half a wave and then a "flat spot" where there is no output (owing to the diode being reversed biased). Let's keep going.
The frequency of a signal is the number of cycles of the signal per second. Further, we know that in a waveform, one cycle occurs when the wave goes through all of the changes it must go through to, shall we say, get back to where it started. In the half-wave output, the signal goes through half of the input wave, and then the voltage sits at zero. That means that one output cycle consists of that voltage excursion, and that period during which the diode is back biased. So the time for one complete cycle of the output is the same as the time for one complete cycle of the input. Thus, a 60 Hz input signal (that sine wave) will give us a half-wave rectified 60 Hz output signal.

Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?
excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
What are linear wave Shaping circuits?
if a sinusoidal voltage is applied to linear circuit the output voltage is also sinusoidal in nature as far as the waveform is concerned the amplitude of input signal may change and there may be phase displacement between input voltages and output voltages
How are FM signal generated?
There are several methods for generating FM signals but they all basically involve an oscillator with an electrically adjustable frequency. This type of oscillator uses an input voltage to affect the frequency of its output. For example, when the applied voltage increases, the oscillator output frequency increases and when the applied voltage decreases, the oscillator output frequency decreases as well. If no voltage is applied to the oscillator its output will be a signal at its centre frequency. The amount of frequency variations is deviated around the oscillators' centre frequency.
When the frequency of an applied voltage is increased the capacitive reactance of a circuit will?
Since capacitive reactance is inversely-proportional to the supply frequency, as the frequency is increased, the reactance will decrease.
Why kirchhoff law are not applied to high frequency circuit?
They are, but you must correctly account for parasitic effects.
Why The Excitation current is non-sinusoidal when applied voltage is sinusoidal?
excitation voltage is sinusoidal because it is taken from the terminal of alternator but excitation current is non-sinusoidal because it always dc.
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 science behind the alternating current?
When a sinusoidal alternating voltage is applied in a circuit, the resulting alternating current is also sinusoidal and has the same frequency as that of applied voltage .However, there is generally a phase difference between the applied voltage and the resulting current.This is how alternating-current circuit works.

What is mean by power frequency withstand voltage and impulse withstand voltage?
Power frequency volatge is applied for a duration of one minute and as such there would be many cycles of sinusoidal wave form applied during the tets; hence, RMS value is considered. Whereas LI is a surge and is typically 1.20 micro sec. wave; hence peak is considered.

What is meant by free running frequency in phase locked loop?
The VCO is a special type of oscillator that has a frequency controlled by an applied voltage.The frequency of the VCO without any control signal applied is called the free running frequency.
What occurs if the frequency of a force applied to system matches the natural frequency ofvibration of the system?

What is the schematic of a selenium rectifier?
A selenium rectifier typically consists of a stack of alternating selenium disks with metal electrodes connecting them. The input AC voltage is applied across the stack, and the rectified output is taken from the ends of the stack. A resistor is often included in series with the rectifier to limit current flow.

What is the difference between resonant frequency and natural frequency?
Resonant frequency is the frequency at which an object naturally vibrates when energy is applied, while natural frequency is the frequency at which an object vibrates without any external force.
