Define Rectification.

For half wave rectifier if load resistance R_(d) is 2 k Omega and P-N junction resistance R_(L) is 2 k Omega determine rectification efficiency.

A sinsusoidal alternating voltage is to be rectified. Suggest one advantage of full-wave rectification as compared with half-wave rectification.

How biasing in diode, used in rectification ?

(A) : Genetic engineering can be used to improve the quality of human life. (R) : It helps in the rectification of genetic errors.

Using the necessary circuit diagram, show how the V-I characteristics of a p-n junction are obtained in (i) forward biasing (ii) Reverse biasing. How are these characteristics made use of in rectification?

What is a Rectification?

The use of diode for rectification is:

What is rectification? With the help of labelled circuit diagram explain half wave rectification using a junction diode.
