CONCEPT:

  • A rectifier is a device that converts an alternating current into a direct current.
  • p-n junction can be used as a rectifier because it permits current in one direction only.

EXPLANATION:

  • A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. So option 4 is correct.
