The PN junction diode is used as
An amplifier
A rectifier
An oscillator
A modulator
Half Wave Rectifier -
It is the type of rectification in which only one half of the input a.c. is translated into the output .
- wherein
Frequency of output is same as input a.c.
Full wave rectifier -
It is type of rectification in which output is obtained for both the halves of a.c.
- wherein
Frequency of output is double to that of input
PN junction can be used as half wave or full wave rectifier.
