Conductor Semi Diode

The function of semiconductor diode

To convert alternating current into direct current

Characteristic of semiconductor

Allows the electric current to flow in one direction only

The image of semiconductor diode

The symbol of semiconductor diode

Way to form the semiconductor diode

Joins the p-type semiconductor and n-type semiconductor

Forward biased circuit

Current passes through diode, bulb light up

Rectification

Process of converting an alternating current into a direct current

Types of rectification

Half-wave rectification and full-wave rectification

Half-wave rectification

A complete cycle of alternating current consists of two half cycles: a positive half cycle and a negative half cycle

Capacitor as a current smoother.....

.......must be used in rectification circuit
