Question

In the given circuit, what is the value of Vp for the output wave, if the input fed is 20 Vp-p?

(a) 10 V

(b) 9.3 V

(c) 5 V

(d) 4.7 V

I got this question in class test.

Question is from Diode Gates and Rectifiers topic in portion Diode Circuit of Analog Circuits

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) 5 V

To explain: As is clear from the circuit that v0 = 0.5 vi and hence peak value of the output wave is equal to half of the peak value of the input wave and hence Vp = 10/2 = 5 V.
