(1-A) Explain the operation of the Zener diode in forward and in reverse bias.
(1-B) Analyze the circuit thoroughly assuming many source values that lead to all possible cases
of diodes states. For each case (Hint: 4 cases), re-plot the circuit and develop the relation
between the output voltage and the source voltage.
(1-C) Draw input and output waveforms accurately over 4-ms period. Identify the diodes states
on the graph based on the categorization of cases from part (1-B).
