If the maximum efficiency of a full wave rectifier is \(\mathrm{x} \%\) and that of half wave rectifier is \(\mathrm{y} \%\), then the relation between \(\mathrm{x}\) and \(\mathrm{y}\) is

  1. A \(\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{y}\)
  2. B \(y=2 x\)
  3. C \(x=2 y\)
  4. D \(y=4 x\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x=2 y\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Maximum efficiency of full wave rectifier \(x=81.2 \%\)
Maximum efficiency of half wave rectifier \(y=40.6 \%\)
\(\therefore \quad \frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{1}\)
Then, relation between \(\mathrm{x}\) and \(\mathrm{y}\) is \(\mathrm{x}=2 \mathrm{y}\).
