Diode is in reverse bias. So diode voltage won't be taken into account.

@All.

Here assume that the diode is ideal hence no voltage drop of 0.7 V and the answer would be 15 V.

Also it is not in reverse bias since there is the voltage appearing across the anode is 20V-5V = 15 V it would be forward biased.

It is an clipper circuit with

-5v i/p = 20-5 = 15

Since +ve signal applied to the anode of the diode and the magnitude is greater than the Vt,the diode is forward biased and conducts thus Vo=Vi-Vt=20-5=15V.

Padma said:   1 decade ago
It is clipper circuit so output voltage is Vo=Vi-Vt=20-5=15.

Sir, we need to consider diode vtg as well which is 0.7V constant. So the answer is 20-5-0.7 = 14.3V.

Dyab dabbeek said:   1 decade ago
I agree with Ashu because the diode has voltage 0.7v so that:

20-5 - 0.7 = 14.3v.

Sihle said:   1 decade ago
But then how is that possible, cause we having Vbias in series with the diode, are not suppose to have an expression like 20-(Vbias-0.7V).

@Singh.

How is it in reverse bias?

Jamar said:   7 years ago
The negative side of the battery is on the positive side of the diode. That's why it is in reverse bias.
