A p-n junction diode as a rectifier converts (a) a.c. to d.c. (b) d.c. to a.c. (c) high voltage to low voltage. (d) low voltage to high voltage.

Answer: (a). A diode conducts in one direction only, so it lets through only one polarity of an alternating input. Hence a rectifier converts a.c. to d.c. So the answer is (a).
