The process by which $ac$ is converted into $dc$ is known as

The peak voltage in the output of a half-wave diode rectifier fed with a sinusoidal signal without a filter is $10 \, V$. The $dc$ component of the output voltage is

In the circuit shown in the figure, determine the output waveform and the output d.c. level of $V_0$.

Explain the use of the junction diode as a half-wave rectifier by drawing a circuit and draw input and output waves.

The function of a rectifier is

When $p$-type and $n$-type semiconductors are brought into contact,they form a $P-N$ junction which acts as a .........
