How biasing in diode, used in rectification ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

From the V-I characteristics of a junction diode it is clear that it allows the current to pass only when it is forward biased. So when an alternative voltage is applied across the diode, current flows only during that part of the cycle when it is forward biased.
