What is called as Alternating current to Direct current converter?

A diode or rectifier converts AC to DC.


Explain how a general diode is used to change alternating current into direct current.?

The specific type of diode you are thinking of will only let current through in one direction.


Which charging system component converts alternating current into direct current?

Diode rectifier


Function of diode?

While there are many other uses for diodes, they are used mainly as rectifiers. Their ability to conduct electric current in only one direction allows them to be used to convert (rectify) alternating current to direct current.


How do you make direct current from alternating current?

First, the alternating current is filtered through a rectifier diode, that is, a device that lets the current pass only in one direction. This will produce a current that goes only in one direction, but that pulsates. To smooth this out, i.e., to convert it into a relatively uniform current, capacitors are used as "buffers".


What can change alternating current to direct current?

A rectifier is used to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). The rectifier allows current flow in one direction only, converting the back-and-forth flow of AC to a constant flow in DC circuits.


What is the Full form of DIAC?

diode for alternating current


What converts an alternating current to diredt current?

Alternating Current can be converted to Direct Current by using a DC Converter which contain a Bridge Circuit , a Capacitor and if needed a Transformer.CommentA 'DC converter' is normally called a rectifier.


Name device which permits direct current and opposes the flow of alternating current?

A device that permits direct current (DC) and opposes the flow of alternating current (AC) is a rectifier. Rectifiers are electronic components that only allow current to flow in one direction, which is common for converting AC to DC in power supplies and other applications.


What is diote?

A diode is semiconductor device which is used in a lot of application in electronics equipment.it is negative temp. coefficient device i.e. at lower temp. it is behave like a insulator and high temp. it is work like a good conductor. Basically a diode is used to convert an alternating current into direct current in form of a rectifier. There are many types of diode used in today day to day life depends upon their application. 1 crystal diode 2 photo diode 3zener diode are some of the most useful diode.

What device converts direct current to alternate current?

Any device that has a battery and can be plugged into the wall. The power coming from the battery is DC, while the power from the wall is AC.
