Question

including a full - wave rectifier in an ac circuit will yield a/an ______ current. a) intermittent direct b) continuous alternating c) intermittent alternating

Explanation:

A full - wave rectifier converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). The output of a full - wave rectifier is a direct current that has some ripple but is not intermittent in the sense of stopping and starting like a half - wave rectifier's output might be misperceived. Option B is incorrect because a rectifier converts AC to DC, not keeps it alternating. Option C is incorrect as the output is DC (direct current) and not alternating. So the correct option is A as a full - wave rectifier gives an intermittent direct current (the "intermittent" here is due to the ripple, but it is still a form of direct current as the direction of current flow is mostly unidirectional).

Answer:

A) intermittent direct
