In AC–DC conversion, what is the sum of voltages around the loop when the switch is closed?

Correct answer A. Non zero

Explanation

Closing the switch ties the ac source directly to the dc side, whose instantaneous voltages differ, so the loop voltage sum is not zero; this KVL conflict is why switch timing must be controlled.
