Question:
A p-n junction diode can be used as
A p-n junction diode can be used as
Updated On: Jun 9, 2024
- condenser
- regulator
- amplifier
- rectifier
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
As a p-n junction diode conducts in forward bias and does not conduct in reverse bias (current is practically zero), thus undirectional property leads to application of diode in rectifiers
