The device which is used for conversion of AC into DC is:
Correct answer: B. Rectifier
- A. Amplifier
- B. Rectifier
- C. Diode
- D. Transistor
Explanation
The device that is used to convert AC to DC is a rectifier. A rectifier corrects or straightens the direction of the current. This device periodically reverses the direction of alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which usually flows in just one direction.

About Rectification
Rectification converts alternating current into unidirectional current using semiconductor diodes. The content includes half wave and full wave rectifiers, bridge circuits, output waveforms, ripple and smoothing with capacitors, with the difference between rectification and voltage regulation kept clear.
