At least how many diodes are required to convert A.C fully into D.C?

Correct answer: D. 4

  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 3
  • D. 4

Explanation

A full-wave rectifier circuit requires at least four diodes to convert AC to DC. The four diodes are connected in a bridge configuration, allowing current to flow through the load in both the positive and negative halves of the AC cycle. This results in a pulsating DC output

About Electronics

A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
