Consider the half wave rectifier circuit Fig.Assume the diode to be a silicon diode with a thershold voltage of `0.7 V`. Draw the output if the input is a sine wave with an amplitude of `2V`.
Text Solution

Since the diode threshold voltage is `0.7 V`, the diode will not conduct till the input voltage reaches from 0 to `0.7 V`. It will conduct from `0.7 V` to 2V input voltage and again till the input voltage falls down to `0.7V`. Thus, the input and output wave from for the half wave rectifier will be as shown in the Fig. (i) and (ii) respectively.
