Diode
Explanation
The electrical component that allows the electric current to flow in only one direction and stops it in the opposite direction is called a Diode. A diode is a semiconductor device with terminals allowing the flow of current in one direction only. It basically functions as a one-way switch for current. This process is also known as rectification, as it converts alternating current to direct current.
