Rectification Quiz

What is rectification?

• Converting DC to AC

• Converting DC to AC and then back to DC

• Converting DC to AC and then to AC again

• Converting AC to DC

What is the purpose of rectification in electronic circuits?

• To protect the circuit from overvoltage in electronic circuits.

• To amplify the signal in electronic circuits.

• To convert AC to DC in electronic circuits.

• To convert DC to AC in electronic circuits.

What is half-wave rectification?

• Process of allowing only the positive half of an AC waveform to pass through.

• Process of converting an AC waveform into a DC waveform.

• Process of allowing both positive and negative halves of an AC waveform to pass through.

• Process of allowing only the negative half of an AC waveform to pass through.

What is the advantage of full-wave rectification over half-wave rectification?
