*DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIODE AND RECTIFIER**


*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 ..

  1. Hello Sir,
    Sir,can we say a diode is also a rectifier?
