In reverse bias, rectifier behaves as a___________(a) Resistor(b) Capacitor(c) Inductor(d) AmplifierThe question was asked during a job interview.This is a very interesting question from The Rectifier Voltmeter topic in section Application of Diodes of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Capacitor

The explanation is: The rectifier exhibits capacitance PROPERTIES when reverse biased, and tends to BYPASS higher frequencies. The METER reading may be in ERROR by as MUCH as 0.5% decrease for every 1 kHz rise in frequency.
