If alternating current is applied to the anode of a diode, what would you expect to see at the cathode?
Pulsating direct current
Assuming the cathode is connected to the load, the diode conducts only on the positive half-cycle of the AC input (anode positive relative to cathode), resulting in half-wave pulsating DC at the output.
