MCQ
A $p-n$ junction $(D)$ shown in the figure can act as a rectifier. An alternating current source $(V)$ is connected in the circuit. The current $(I)$ in the resistor $(R)$ can be shown by
- A
- B
- ✓
- D
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
c
We know that a single $p-n$ junction diode connected to an $a-c$ source acts as a half wave rectifier [Forward biased in one half cycle and reverse biased in the other half cyclel.
