Which of the following is a type of rectifier?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Half wave
- B. Full wave
- C. Bridge
- D. All of the above
Explanation
A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current, which periodically reverses direction, to direct current, which flows in only one direction. Thus all three are types of rectifiers.

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.
