The conversion of alternating current (A.C) into direct current (D.C) is called _.
Correct answer: B. Rectification
- A. Reflection
- B. Rectification
- C. Reactivity
- D. None of these
Explanation
Rectification is the process of converting alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by removing the negative portion of the waveform. This process involves allowing the current to flow in only one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction. Rectification is essential in various electronic devices and power supplies where a consistent and unidirectional flow of current is required for proper operation.

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.
