The applications of selenium rectifiers are usually limited to potential of_____________?
Correct answer: D. 100 V
- A. 10 V
- B. 30 V
- C. 60 V
- D. 100 V
- E. 200 V
Explanation
Selenium rectifiers were mainly used for low-voltage power supplies, battery charging and similar applications, generally up to about 100 V. They were not well suited to high-voltage rectification.
