The output of the given circuit is in Fig. 14.4.
A. would be zero at all times.
B. would be like a half-wave rectifier with positive cycles in output.
C. would be like a half-wave rectifier with negative cycles in output.
D. would be like that of a full wave rectifier.
The correct answer is the option c.
Explanation:-
would be like a half-wave rectifier with negative cycles in the output
Half-Wave Rectification: A half-wave rectifier allows current to pass through only during one half of the AC cycle, either positive or negative, depending on the orientation of the diode. In the case of half-wave rectification with negative cycles in output, the diode is oriented such that it only allows current to pass through during the negative half of the AC input signal, blocking the positive cycles.
