Q. A semiconductor diode is used to

A
Convert dc to ac
B
Convert ac to dc
C
Increase voltage
D
Decrease voltage
Solution:

Semiconductor diodes are a vital component in power supplies where they are used to convert AC mains (line) voltage to DC. The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode’s forward direction), while blocking it in the opposite direction (the reverse direction).
