Question

Which component is used to change alternating current to direct current? a diode an integrated circuit a transistor a capacitor

Answer 1

Answer:

Diode

Explanation:

The rectifier is a device which is used to convert alternating current into direct current.

There are two types of rectifiers.

Half wave rectifier and full wave rectifier.

To convert alternating current completely into direct current, full wave rectifier is used.

A rectifier consists of diode.

Answer 2

As we know that equivalent resistance of a capacitor for an AC circuit is given as

$X_c = \frac{1}{\omega C}$

so here for an AC circuit capacitor will provide less resistance to AC component of the current

While for DC as we know it has ZERO frequency

so we will have large resistance

so here we will have to use capacitor as a filter circuit which will separate AC component of current from the DC current

So correct answer will be

CAPACITOR
