Question
Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from thecodes(a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.
  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
  2. Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
  3. A is true but R is false.
  4. A is false and R is also false.
Assertion: : The half-wave rectifier work only for positive half cycle of ac.
Reason: In half-wave rectifier only one diode is used.

Answer

  1. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
In half wave rectifier, the one diode is biased only when ac is in positive half of its cycle. For negative half of the ac cycle the diode is reversed biased and there is no output corresponding to that. Since for only one-half cycle we get a voltage output, because of which it is called half wave rectifier.
