प्रश्न
Write the property of a junction diode which makes it suitable for rectification of ac voltages.
Which characteristic property makes the junction diode suitable for rectification?
State the characteristic property of a junction diode that makes it suitable for rectification.
उत्तर
When a junction diode has an alternating voltage placed across it, only when the diode is forward-biased can current flow. The junction diode's ability to correct alternating current can be used. This is accomplished through the use of a rectifier circuit. It exhibits high resistance when reverse-biased and low resistance when forward-biased.
