Q. If a diode is connected in series with AC circuit, it becomes

A
Reverse biased
B
Forward biased
C
Both A & B
D
None of these
Solution:

? If a diode is connected in series with AC circuit, it becomes reverse biased and hinder the flow of current when the direction of flow of AC current is changed. This Causes to stop conduction. Then the output voltage becomes only one half of the input voltage and it functions as a half wave rectifier.

? The device required to convert AC current to DC is called diode

? The process of conversion of AC in to DC by using a diode is called Half wave rectification
