Rectifiers are used to convert: A. Direct current to Alternating current B. Alternating current to Direct current C. High voltage to low voltage D. Low voltage to high voltage

[amp_mcq option1=”Direct current to Alternating current” option2=”Alternating current to Direct current” option3=”High voltage to low voltage” option4=”Low voltage to high voltage” correct=”option2″]

The correct answer is: B. Alternating current to Direct current.

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). This is done by using a semiconductor device, such as a diode, to allow current to flow in only one direction. Rectifiers are used in a variety of applications, including power supplies, battery chargers, and inverters.

Option A is incorrect because rectifiers do not convert DC to AC. Option C is incorrect because rectifiers do not convert high voltage to low voltage. Option D is incorrect because rectifiers do not convert low voltage to high voltage.
