A p-n junction diode as a rectifier converts

A p-n junction diode as a rectifier converts
  1. a.c. to d.c.
  2. d.c. to a.c.
  3. high voltage to low voltage.
  4. low voltage to high voltage.

Solution

The correct answer is Alternate current to Direct current. A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction.
