Consider the circuit shown. For the diode, assume the piecewise
linear model (battery plus resistance model) with a forward voltage
of 0.7V and rD of 20 Ω.
(a) Plot the output voltage for 1 cycle after the circuit comes to a “steady state”. What will be the average voltage at the output then?
(b) Now, assume that after the circuit is in steady state, the magnitude of the input triangular wave is reduced to 5V peak (i.e., +5V positive peak and −5V negative peak). Plot the output voltage for 1 cycle after it reaches a new steady state. What will be the average voltage at the output then?
