One significant application of diodes is to convert AC power to DC power. A single diode or four diodes can be used to transform 110V household power to DC by forming a halfway (single diode) or a full-wave (four diodes) rectifier. A diode does this by allowing only half of the AC waveform to travel through it.Feb 19, 2018
