Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of a diode in a rectifier circuit? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand that a rectifier circuit is used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC).
  • Step 2: Know that a diode is a special electronic component that acts like a one-way valve for electricity.
  • Step 3: When AC current flows into the rectifier circuit, the diode only allows the positive part of the AC wave to pass through.
  • Step 4: The negative part of the AC wave is blocked by the diode, preventing it from flowing.
  • Step 5: As a result, the output of the rectifier circuit is a pulsed DC current, which is the desired outcome.
