Rectification Rectification is a process of converting the alternating quantity (voltage or current) into a corresponding direct quantity(voltage or current). The input to a rectifier is AC whereas its output is unidirectional or DC.

Rectifiers Rectifier is an electronic device which is used for converting an alternating quantity (Voltage or current) into unidirectional i.e. DC quantity (Voltage or current). Block diagram of Rectifier:

Need of Rectification Every electronic circuit such as amplifiers, needs a DC power source for its operation. This DC voltage has to be obtained from AC supply. For this the AC supply has to be reduced () Stepped down first using a Step down transformer and then converted to dc by using rectifier.
