Question

For a sinusoidal input of 20 Vpeak to the given circuit, what is the peak value of the output waveform?

(a) 20 V

(b) 25 V

(c) 0 V

(d) -25 V

This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

This is a very interesting question from Diode Clipper and Clamper in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) 25 V

For explanation: In the given circuit, the output becomes zero for vi less than -5 V. Hence, the peak value of the output is 25 V owing to the additive effect of V for vi.
