Rectification circuits use which type of diode:
- Zener Diode
- Normal diode
- Varactor diode
- Any of above
Correct answer: 2. Normal diode
In Electrical Engineering Rectification refers to the conversion of Alternating current (AC) to Direct current (DC). Rectification circuits can use diode for converting AC to DC.
Good to know:
- A Zener diode operates in reverse bias to obtain voltage
- A Varactor diode is a special purpose diode which is used as voltage-controlled capacitors
