Function of rectifier is(a) To convert ac into dc(b) To convert dc into ac(c) Both (a) and (b)(d) None of these

Answer 1

To convert ac into dc

A rectifier is an electronic device that converts AC voltage into DC voltage. In other words, it converts alternating current to direct current. A rectifier is used in almost all the electronic devices. Mostly it is used to convert the main voltage into DC voltage in the power supply section. By using DC voltage supply electronic devices work. According to the period of conduction, rectifiers are classified into two categories: Half Wave Rectifier and Full Wave Rectifier
