The device used for conversion of A.C into D.C is called:
Correct answer: D. A rectifier
- A. A detector
- B. An oscillator
- C. An amplifier
- D. A rectifier
Explanation
The device used for the conversion of AC (alternating current) into DC (direct current) is called a rectifier.Rectifiers are electrical devices that utilize semiconductor diodes or other components to convert the alternating flow of current (AC) into a unidirectional flow (DC). They can be implemented as half-wave rectifiers or full-wave rectifiers, depending on the desired output and application. These devices are essential in various electronic circuits and power supply systems to provide DC power from AC sources.

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.
