Physics · Diode Circuits
A series clipping circuit consists of an ideal diode and a resistor R in series with an AC input sinusoidal voltage source. If the diode is reverse biased during the negative half cycle, the output waveform across the resistor will be:
- 1An unaltered sinusoidal waveform
- 2A square waveform clipping at zero
- 3A full-wave rectified waveform
- 4A half-wave rectified waveform containing only the positive half cycles✓
Correct answer
A half-wave rectified waveform containing only the positive half cycles
