Which of the following is not a type of rectifier?
Correct answer: A. Phase wave rectifier
- A. Phase wave rectifier
- B. Full wave
- C. Half wave
- D. None of them
Explanation
A phase wave rectifier is not a recognized type of rectifier. The commonly known types of rectifiers are full wave rectifier and half wave rectifier. A rectifier is an electronic device used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). In a full wave rectifier, both halves of the AC waveform are utilized, while in a half wave rectifier, only one half of the AC waveform is used.

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.
