Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 80.(c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Here P-N junction diode rectifies half of the ac wave i.e., acts as half wave rectifier. During + ve half cycle

Diode $\rightarrow$ forward biased output across will be

During -ve half cycle Diode $\rightarrow$ reverse biased output will not obtained.
