32.
In the following limiter circuit, an input voltage V1 = 10 sin 100pt applied. Assume that the diode drop is 0.7 V when it is forward biased. The zener breakdown voltage is 6.8 V

The maximum and minimum values of the output voltage respectively are
6.1 V, -0.7 V
0.7 V, -7.5 V
7.5 V, -0.7 V
7.5 V, -7.5 V
Answer: Option
Explanation:

During +ve part of Vi

D1 will be forward biased

Zener diode is reverse biased

Thus net voltage = 6.8 + 0.7 = 4.5 V

During -ve part of Vi

D2 will be forward biased

D1 will be reversed biased

Thus net voltage = -0.7 V .

Net voltage in +ve has been mistyped to 4.5 instead of 7.5.

please correct it.
