Transistors can be used as:
Correct answer: C. Both
- A. Half wave rectifier
- B. Full wave rectifier
- C. Both
- D. None of these
Explanation
Transistors can be used as both half wave rectifiers and full wave rectifiers.Rectifiers are electronic devices used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). They are commonly used in power supplies to convert AC voltage to a steady DC voltage that can be used by electronic devices.

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.
