Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The input wave is shown in the figure.

From 0 to T/2 the diode is forward biased and the current flows through R From T/2 to T the diode is reverse biased and no current will flow through R. Hence we get d.c. pulses as shown in figure (3).
