Rectification is the process of converting
Correct answer: B. alternating current to direct current
- A. direct current to alternating current
- B. alternating current to direct current
- C. low voltage to high voltage
- D. current to voltage
Explanation
A diode conducts in one direction only, so it can strip out one half of the alternating cycle and leave a unidirectional output. Converting direct to alternating current is inversion, done by an inverter, which is the opposite process. Every mains powered electronic device contains a rectifier of some kind.

About Rectification
Rectification converts alternating current into unidirectional current using semiconductor diodes. The content includes half wave and full wave rectifiers, bridge circuits, output waveforms, ripple and smoothing with capacitors, with the difference between rectification and voltage regulation kept clear.
