no... frequency refers to the number of times something happens in a given amount of time, ie: hertz is full waves passing a point in a second.

however, since waves are additive, you can produce an "anti-wave" that in-effect cancels out a wave

Well you can say that the frequency of DC is constant or not?

Yes it is constant at Zero Frequency. No, DC or Direct Current only means that the current only goes one direction, but it can have a frequency. You can have a square wave, sawtooth wave or sine wave that never goes from positive to negative or negative to positive and it would be a direct current with a frequency.


What is the voltage wave form?

It is positive and negative signal in the frequency of wave form, the voltage of amplitude modulation, that carriers the signal of frequency.In the process of graph showing result ...


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 measurement can vary with AC current by not DC current?

HZ. Hertz is the name given to the frequency of the alternating circuit. Direct current (DC) has no frequency since one wire is always positive and the other is always negative; but AC (Alternating Current) rapidly changes polarity, and does so at a rate that is defined by HZ.
