Which element of a rectifier only allows current to flow in one direction?
a. Shunt
b. Stack
c. Circuit breaker
d. Tap

A diode is the element in a rectifier that only allows current to flow in one direction, crucial for converting AC to DC. The half-wave and full-wave rectifiers use diodes to manage the direction of current. Understanding how diodes operate is essential in the context of electronic circuits. ;

The element of a rectifier that allows current to flow in one direction is called a diode, which is essential for converting AC to DC. While the question's options do not mention diodes, they are crucial for the operation of rectifiers. The correct function of a rectifier relies on diodes, as they enforce the one-way current flow necessary for rectification.
