If an alternating voltage is applied across a $p-n$ junction diode in series with a load,then:

  • A
    no voltage appears across load.
  • B
    a pulsating voltage appears across load.
  • C
    an $a.c.$ voltage appears across load.
  • D
    a $d.c.$ voltage appears across load which is not pulsating.
