Which of the following is the loss within the mercury arc rectifier chamber ?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Voltage drop in arc
- B. Voltage drop at the anode
- C. Voltage drop at the cathode
- D. All of the above
Explanation
A mercury arc rectifier has voltage losses in the arc as well as at the anode and cathode. Therefore, all three listed drops contribute to the chamber loss.
