If in a p-n junction diode, a square input signal of 10 V is applied as shown Then the output signal across RL will be (a) (b) (c) (d)

Answer: (a). For input +5 V the diode is forward biased and the full +5 V appears across RL. For input -5 V the diode is reverse biased, current is zero, so the output across RL is 0. The output is a square pulse between 0 and +5 V. So the answer is (a).

P-N Junction Diode

If in a $p\text{-}n$ junction diode, a square input signal of $10\text{ V}$ is applied as shown

Then the output signal across $R_L$ will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

For input $+5$ V the diode is forward biased and the full $+5$ V appears across $R_L$ .
For input $-5$ V the diode is reverse biased, current is zero, so the output across $R_L$ is 0.
The output is a square pulse between 0 and $+5$ V. So the answer is (a).
