Output voltage of rectifier is not smooth, it can be made smooth by a circuit known as:
Correct answer: C. Filter circuit
- A. Wheatstone Circuit
- B. Bridge circuit
- C. Filter circuit
- D. Ripple circuit
Explanation
The filter circuit incorporates a capacitor which charges and discharges in order to smooth the circuit. A rectifier is a device that converts AC current into DC current.
