Converting both positive and negative alternating current nodes to DC current is referred to as:
A) Half wave rectification.
B) Three phase rectification.
C) Full polarity rectification.
D) Full wave rectification.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Full wave rectification involves converting both the positive and negative alternating current nodes to DC current by using both the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC waveform. This is achieved by using a bridge rectifier circuit, which allows for a more efficient conversion of AC to DC compared to half wave rectification. Three phase rectification and full polarity rectification are not commonly used terms in this context.
