A p-n junction can act basically as

  1. A Half wave rectifier only
  2. B Full wave rectifier only
  3. C Both Half as well as full wave rectifier
  4. D Does not act as rectifier
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Both Half as well as full wave rectifier

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

A single p-n junction diode acts as a half-wave rectifier by allowing only one half of the AC cycle to pass. By using multiple diodes (like in a center-tap or bridge configuration), they can be combined to form a full-wave rectifier. C) Both Half as well as full wave rectifier
