Uncontrolled Half-wave Rectifier

What is the primary purpose of an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier?

• To convert AC voltage to DC voltage
  
  

• To amplify DC voltage

• 
  To convert DC voltage to AC voltage

• To store electrical energy

In an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier, which part of the AC waveform is allowed to pass through to the output?

• The positive half
  

• The negative half

• Both the positive and negative halves

• None of the above

What happens during the negative half-cycle of the AC input in an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier?

• The diode conducts and allows current to flow.

• The diode blocks current flow.

• The output voltage is zero.

• The diode becomes reverse-biased.

Which component in an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier allows current to flow in only one direction?

• Resistor

• Capacitor

• Inductor

• Diode

In an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier, what happens to the negative half of the AC waveform?

• It is converted to positive DC voltage.

• It is blocked by the diode.

• It becomes positive AC voltage.

• It is inverted and becomes negative DC voltage.

Which type of voltage does an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier produce at its output?

• Constant DC voltage

• Variable DC voltage

• Pulsating DC voltage

• Pure AC voltage

In an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier, what is the output voltage during the negative half-cycle of the input AC voltage?

• Zero voltage

• Negative DC voltage

• Positive DC voltage

• Variable AC voltage

What happens to the inductive load when the diode in an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier conducts during the positive half-cycle of the AC input?

• The load voltage increases

• The load voltage decreases

• The load current increases

• The load current decreases

What is the effect of the inductor in an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier with an inductive load on the output voltage?

• It reduces the output voltage.

• It increases the output voltage.

• It has no effect on the output voltage.

• It produces an alternating output voltage.

In an uncontrolled half-wave rectifier with an inductive load, what happens to the output current during the off state of the diode?

• It remains constant.

• It decreases to zero.

• It increases.

• It becomes negative.
