Final Activity: 1. What is a rectifier? A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by allowing electricity to travel in only one direction through the device. The inverter performs the reversing process. The procedure is called as rectification because it "straightens" the present course. Half-wave rectification occurs when just one polarity of an alternating current is employed to create a pulsing direct current. Within the rectifier, diodes will act as one-way valves to keep the current flowing. 2. Cite applications of diodes. When the potential difference between its terminals surpasses a particular limit, a diode is a two-terminal semiconductor device that conducts electrical current in only one way. Diodes are the most common electronic components, and their uses are nearly limitless, depending on the diod
