A rectifier is a device that converts alternating current (AC) into a direct current (DC). This process is called rectification. A p-n junction diode can be used as a rectifier because it permits current in one direction only.

A p-n junction diode is a two terminal device that allows electric current in one direction and blocks electric current in another direction. In forward bias condition, the diode allows electric current whereas in reverse bias condition, the diode does not allow electric current.
