The alternating current produced by the AC generator is rectified into direct current (DC) through the use of ______.
A) transistors
B) electromagnetic relays
C) diodes
D) capacitors
AC Generator
An alternator in a vehicle that converts mechanical energy into alternating current electricity to power electrical systems.
Diodes
Semiconductor devices that allow current to flow in one direction, often used in electronics to rectify, switch, or modulate signals.
Direct Current
An electric current that flows in one direction only, used in many electronic devices and battery-powered systems.
