Correct Answer - Option 1 : Alternate current to Direct current

The correct answer is Alternate current to Direct current.

  • A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.
    • The process is known as rectification since it "straightens" the direction of the current.
  •  When a diode is used as a rectifier, it acts as a two-lead semiconductor which allows current to pass from only one direction.
    • Rectifier diodes are a vital component in power supplies where they are used to convert AC voltage to DC voltage.
    • The main application of the p-n junction diode is in rectification circuits.
    • These circuits are used to describe the conversion of a.c signals to d.c in power supplies.
    • The diode rectifier gives an alternating voltage that pulsates in accordance with time.
