Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the purpose of a rectifier in electronic circuits?
  • Step 1: Understand that there are two types of electrical current: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
  • Step 2: Know that AC is the type of current that changes direction periodically, while DC flows in one direction only.
  • Step 3: Learn that a rectifier is a device used in electronic circuits.
  • Step 4: Recognize that the main job of a rectifier is to change AC into DC.
  • Step 5: Realize that this conversion is important because many electronic devices need DC to operate properly.
