Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. The diode works in DC since it is a unidirectional device.
  2. The diode allows the current to pass only in one direction.
  3. If the diodes are used in AC it will conduct only during half of the cycle.
  4. Thus they are used in the conversion of AC into DC.
  5. Hence, diodes are DC.
