Rectification is the process of converting:
Correct answer: A. A.C into D.C
- A. A.C into D.C
- B. D.C into A.C
- C. Both A.C into D.C and D.C into A.C
- D. None of these
Explanation
Rectification refers to the process of converting alternating current (A.C) into direct current (D.C).A diode is commonly used in rectification circuits to achieve this conversion. When an A.C voltage is applied to a diode, the diode allows current to flow in one direction (during the positive half-cycle of the A.C waveform) while blocking it in the opposite direction (during the negative half-cycle).

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.
