Question
When comparing the efficiency of full-wave and half-wave rectifiers, one of the following statements is correct:
Select one:
a. Full-wave rectifier has a twice the efficiency of a hlaf-wave rectifier because it utilizes both half cycles of the input
b. Full-wave rectifier has a twice the efficiency of a hlaf-wave rectifier because it makes use of a transformer
c. Half-wave rectifier has half of the efficiency of a full-wave rectifier because the output frequency is double the line frequency
d. Half-wave rectifier has half of the efficiency of a full-wave rectifier because it uses less number of diodes
e. Half-wave rectifier has half of the efficiency of a full-wave rectifier because the ripple factor is much less
