When a diode is used in an AC circuit for half-wave rectification,which of the following should be true?

A) it becomes reverse bias to block the positive half of the AC sine wave
B) scrambles frequency of the AC sine wave
C) it becomes forward bias to conduct the positive half of the AC sine wave
D) square waves the sine wave

Half-Wave Rectification

A process that converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) by allowing only one half of the AC cycle to pass through.

AC Circuit

Pertains to an electrical circuit in which the current changes direction periodically, as opposed to a DC (Direct Current) circuit where current flows in one direction only.

Reverse Bias

A condition in semiconductor devices where the voltage is applied in the opposite direction of the forward bias, often to block current flow.
