Choppers is a_______________?
Correct answer: D. DC - DC converters
- A. AC - DC converters
- B. AC - AC converters
- C. DC - AC converters
- D. DC - DC converters
Explanation
A chopper uses semiconductor switching to convert a fixed DC voltage into a controlled DC voltage. Thus, it is a DC-to-DC converter, not an AC converter.
