What is the use of a rectifier

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of a Rectifier**: A rectifier is an electronic device that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). 2. **Function of a Rectifier**: The primary function of a rectifier is to allow current to flow in one direction only, thereby converting the bidirectional flow of AC into a unidirectional flow of DC. ...
