A rectifier, typically called a diode. It stops reverse current flow and only allows current to flow in one direction. 4 diodes are used for what is called "Full wave rectification". Along with a capacitor and a choke (or coil), almost pure DC can be achieved.

A computer's power supply converts alternating current (AC) from the wall outlet to direct current (DC) used by the computer's internal components.
AnswerA rectifier is used to convert a.c. to d.c.

Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
What is the output voltage of megger is it ac or DC?
megger are available in ac &dc
What is the difference while applying kcl to dc and ac circuits?
KCL is Common to both AC and DC. Only the waveform or AC and DC will differ
What is an ac voltmeter?
A: It is a regular DC voltmeter but the AC is rectified and the DC component is measured and displayed as AC VOLTS.
Are the fan motors on fanuc ac spindle motors ac or dc?
usually ac 110v even on the dc motors
In a power station where dc is actually converted to ac while distribution?
The generated voltage in a power station is AC voltage, not DC. So, it is never converted to AC, because it is already AC.
How do you convert a DC to AC inverter into a grid tie inverter?
A grid DC tie is where AC is converted into DC, which is then converted to AC again on the other side. If you have a DC to AC transformer setup, you'd need to add a second one going the "other" way for a full DC tie station.
Alternator generates DC or AC?
An alternator produces AC current but it is converted to DC by the rectifier inside the alternator.
How AC is converted into DC in welding machine?
rectifyer
How you convert DC TO ac?
we can convert a dc supply to an ac supply using inverters. Its a common operation which we observe in our daily lives dc can be converted to Ac using an undulator.
What is the use of a regulator?
ac supply converted with dc supply
What is the use of regulator?
ac supply converted with dc supply
Does a motor car emit ac or dc?
The engine itself emits nothing. The alternator does. The alternator emits AC, but it is converted to DC.
What is chopper amplifier?
In a chopper type amplifier the dc i/p voltage is converted into an ac voltage, amplified by an ac amplifier and then converted back into a dc voltage proportional to the original i/p signal
What is located within the system unit to converted from AC to DC?
Converter
Does a generator produce ac or DC voltage?
NO, generator always generating AC current,when commutator is used,at that time AC is converted in DC.and due to this generator is called dc generator.
Can an AC water heater be converted to operate on DC current?
An AC water heater can be converted to operate on DC current but the cost will be large. In the electrical trade anything can be done if enough money is spent to get the results that are requested.
