The conversion of A.C into D.C is called rectification and circuit is called rectifier, Which component of electronics acts as a rectifier?
Correct answer: A. Diode
- A. Diode
- B. Transistor
- C. Transformer
- D. Inductor
Explanation
A diode is a semiconductor device that allows current to flow in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. This unidirectional behavior is essential in various applications, such as rectification, signal modulation, and voltage regulation.

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.
