A diode allows electrons to pass only in one direction. During the negative half cycle of an alternating current the diode will not allow electron current to pass. It is like a one way valve. This property of diode enables it to convert AC into pulsated DC

How diode convert pure ac to pure dc?

You can't convert ac to pure dc with diode only. The easiest way to convert ac to dc by with diode is by using rectification, it consist of at least 2 diodes (half wave rectifier) and (capacitor is to "smoother" the wave).

How do you test a diode bridge?

How to test a diode bridge ? Diode bridge is a device is used to convert an AC signals (say AC voltage) to DC output (say DC voltage). So, to test it, you can apply a AC voltage v = Vm Sin (wt) at its 2 inputs and measure DC output voltage Vdc.
