Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the function of a rectifier in an electronic circuit?
  • 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, while DC flows in one direction.
  • Step 3: Learn that many electronic devices, like phones and computers, need DC to work properly.
  • Step 4: Recognize that a rectifier is a device that changes AC into DC.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the function of a rectifier is to make sure electronic devices get the right type of current they need to operate.
