Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
Diode is also sometimes known as:
- Resistance
- Amplifier
- Reactance
- Rectifier
Correct answer: 4. Rectifier
Explanation: A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). Diodes are commonly used as rectifiers in various electronic circuits. Therefore, diodes are often referred to as rectifiers because they rectify AC to DC by allowing current flow in only one direction.
