Rectification is the process of converting
- A. direct current to alternating current
- B. alternating current to direct current
- C. low voltage to high voltage
- D. current to voltage
Explanation
A diode conducts in one direction only, so it can strip out one half of the alternating cycle and leave a unidirectional output. Converting direct to alternating current is inversion, done by an inverter, which is the opposite process. Every mains powered electronic device contains a rectifier of some kind.
