The output voltage waveform at R will have
A. zero value in the positive half cycle and a peak value of 1.414Vs in the negative half cycle
B. sine-wave nature with a peak value 1.414Vs
C. zero value in the negative half cycle and a peak value of 1.414Vs in the positive half cycle
D. sine-wave nature with a peak value Vs
Answer:A
The output voltage waveform at R will have
A. zero value in the positive half cycle and a peak value of 1.414Vs in the negative half cycle B. sine-wave nature with a peak value 1.414Vs C. zero value in the negative half cycle and a peak value of 1.414Vs in the positive half cycle D. sine-wave nature with a peak value Vs
Explanation: The diode short circuits the load in the negative half cycle. The peak value in the positive half is 1.414 x Vs.
