The number of diodes in centre-tapped full-wave rectifier is:
Correct answer: A. 2
- A. 2
- B. 3
- C. 4
- D. 1
Explanation
A centre-tapped full-wave rectifier is a rectifier that uses a centre-tapped transformer to convert AC into DC. It has the following components: an AC source, a centre-tapped transformer, two diodes, and a load resistor.

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.
