For the circuit shown below each diode has V_γ = 0.7 V. The V₀ for – 10 ≤ V_s < 10 V is:

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

Correct Option: D

For V_s > 0, when D₁ is OFF, current will flow through diode D₂ and is given by:

i =	10 - 0.7	= 0.465 mA
	10 + 10

ν_o = 10 × i = 10 × 0.465 = 4.65 V
it means we conclude that
ν_o = ν_s for 0 < ν_s < 4.65 V
for negative values of ν_s, we get the same output but in negaive magnitude.
Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
