Question

Which of the following component is most suitable for rectification?

• A. transistor
• B. triode
• C. transformer
• D. diode

Answer 1

Answer:

D. diode

• A diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device that allows current to flow in only one direction, making it ideal for rectification, which is the conversion of alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). Transistors and triodes have different functions mainly related to amplification and switching, while transformers are used for voltage transformation, not rectification.
