*DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIODE AND RECTIFIER**
Ans->>*A diode is a device that allows flow of current in one direction only.
A rectifier is a diode that is able to convert the current from AC to DC.
*The rectifier is placed in one of the AC lines before the load.
The diode has a small leaked current whenever it is working.
*The rectifier is used to purify the circuit.
A diode can be reverse biased or forward biased.
A forward biased diode is placed in the current’s direction and a reversed biased diode is placed against the flow of current.
The depletion region in a forward biased diode is small while the depletion region in a reverse biased diode is big ..
Hello Sir,
ReplyDeleteSir,can we say a diode is also a rectifier?
