Question 232Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passIn the regulated DC power supply illustrated, what is the function of section "B"? Illustration EL-0085

Ahalf wave rectification
Bquarter wave rectification
Cfull wave rectification
Dshort wave rectification
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) full wave rectification. The function of section "B" in the regulated DC power supply illustrated in EL-0085 is to perform full wave rectification. Full wave rectification converts both the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC input into positive half-cycles, resulting in a more stable and continuous DC output. The other answer choices are incorrect because half wave rectification only uses one half of the AC cycle, quarter wave rectification is not a common technique, and short wave rectification is not a standard term in this context.
