A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). It is commonly used in power supplies and other electronic circuits. The term 'rectifier' can refer to three different types of devices: a VALVE, a DIODE, or an ignitron. A VALVE is a device that controls the flow of electricity, while a DIODE is a two-terminal electronic component that allows current to flow in one direction only. An ignitron is a type of gas-filled tube that acts as a rectifier and is used in high-voltage applications. All three of these devices are used in rectification, which is the process of converting AC to DC.
