For the circuit shown below the input voltage V_i is as shown below. Assume the RC time constant large and cut-in voltage of diode V_r = 0. The output voltage V₀ is:

1. NA
2. NA
3. NA
4. NA

Correct Option: B

In negative cycle diode will be ON and capacitor will be charged, at this cycle we get 0 V output and capacitor will charge to 10 V. In positive cycle diode will be off and
ν_o = ν_c + ν_i = 10 + 10 = 20 V
the given circuit acts as a positive clamper
Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
