Consider the circuit shown in Figure (i). If the diode used here has the V-I characteristic as in Figure (ii), then the output waveform V₀ is—

Correct Option: C

From given figure given that resistance of diode R_f =	dv	= 300 Ω
	dI

and the diode will conduct for input voltage greater than 0.5 V.

The complete equivalent circuit of the diode can be given as for the positive half cycle.

so, V₀ = (V_i – 0.5).	600
	(600 + 300)

or V₀ = 1.5 ×	600
	900

or V₀ = 1.0 V
However, for the negative half cycle of the input voltage Vi, the diode is in the non-conduction stage and we get zero output.
Hence alternative (C) is the correct answer.
