With help of circuit diagram and waveform, explain working of positive series clipper.
Series Clipper (Positive):-
Working: For positive cycle the diode D is reverse biased. Hence there is no voltage across the load RL While for negative half wave, the diode D is forward biased. Hence the voltage across the RL is negative half cycle of the input. Hence the positive cycle of the input voltage gets clipped off.
