The device to convert alternating current into direct current is
General SciencePhysics
- ATransformer
- BRectifier
- CAlternator
- DCondenser
Explanation
A rectifier — typically built from diodes — converts alternating current into direct current by allowing current to flow in only one direction. A transformer only steps voltage up or down (still AC), an alternator generates AC from mechanical energy, and a condenser (capacitor) stores charge. Hence (B) is correct.
