Rectification
The most common function of a diode is to allow an electric current to pass in one direction (called the diode's forward direction), while blocking current in the opposite direction .Thus, the diode can be viewed as an electronic version of a check valve. This unidirectional behavior is called rectification, and is used to convert alternating current to direct current, including extraction of modulation from radio signals in radio receivers—these diodes are forms of rectifiers.

Physics Questions And Answers

126.Cooking taken longest time
a. the sea level
b. Simla
c. Mount Everest
d. None of these

Cover The answer.
Ans. C
At Mount Everest
Everest is 8.848 kilometers tall, the highest elevation above sea level, the lower the air pressure.
That's because there's less air above you pushing down. When air pressure is lower, it's easier for water to boil--to change from liquid to gas. So as you go up a mountain, the temperature needed to make the water boil is lower. The other factor is that once water is boiling, it doesn't get any hotter. All the extra energy going into the boiling water is being used to change the liquid into gas.
