The device used for conversion of D.C. to A.C. is called______________?
Correct answer: C. Inverter
- A. Converter
- B. A rectifier
- C. Inverter
- D. Oscillator
Explanation
An inverter uses electronic switching to convert direct current into alternating current. A rectifier performs the opposite conversion, AC to DC, so option b is the likely mistake caused by confusing the two devices.
