Chapter 20: Problem 19

Function of rectifier is (A) To convert ac into dc (B) To convert dc into ac (C) Both (A) and (B) (D) None of these

Short Answer

Expert verified
The function of a rectifier is to convert AC into DC. Therefore, the correct answer is (A) To convert ac into dc.

Step by step solution

01

Understanding Rectifier

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, into direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process of converting AC to DC is called rectification.
02

Choose the Correct Answer

Now that we know the function of a rectifier, let's review the options given: (A) To convert ac into dc - As we just learned, this is the function of a rectifier. (B) To convert dc into ac - This is the function of an inverter, not a rectifier. (C) Both (A) and (B) - Not true, as a rectifier does not convert DC to AC. (D) None of these - One of the options given accurately describes a rectifier's function. Considering the facts above, the correct answer is: (A) To convert ac into dc
