Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What type of rectifier uses a single diode?
  • Step 1: Understand what a rectifier does. A rectifier converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC).
  • Step 2: Know that there are different types of rectifiers. Some use one diode, while others use more.
  • Step 3: Identify the type of rectifier that uses a single diode. This is called a half-wave rectifier.
  • Step 4: Learn how a half-wave rectifier works. It allows only one half of the AC waveform (either positive or negative) to pass through.
  • Step 5: Conclude that a half-wave rectifier is the answer to the question.
