The p-n junction diode is used as

A rectifier is an electrical component that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). 

For the given circuit shown in adjoining figure, to act as full wave rectifier. The $AC$ input should be connected across _________ and the $DC$ output would appear across ___________and_______:

In full-wave rectification, if the input frequency is $50 \mathrm{Hz}$, the output frequency is _____ $\mathrm{Hz}$.

With the help of neat circuit diagram explain the working of half and full wave rectifier.

Draw the figure of full wave rectifier used to change ac to dc and explain its working.

If the RMS value of sinusoidal input to a full wave rectifier is $\frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}$, then the RMS value of the rectifier's output is

In a half wave rectifier the AC input source of frequency 50 Hz is used. The fundamental frequency of the output is

In the circuit shown the diode will conduct current for a

In the diagram, the input is across the terminals A and C and the output is across the terminals B and D, then the output is

In the diagram, the input is across the terminals A and C and the output is across the terminals B and D, then the output is


             

A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 200 volt is connected to a diode and resistor $R$ in the circuit figure, so that halfwave rectification occurs. If the forward resistance of the diode is negligible compared to $R$, the RMS voltage (in volt) across $R$ is approximately

The maximum efficiency of full wave rectifier is
