Diodes are used to

1. convert DC into AC
2. convert AC into DC
3. resistance control
4. current regulation

Correct answer: convert AC into DC

Solution

A diode conducts current in only one direction, so it can block one half of an AC waveform and allow the other half through. This rectifying action is used to convert AC into DC.
